American rapper Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., popularly known as DDG, has dismissed Western media reports portraying Nigeria as highly dangerous, calling them “fake news.”
While vacationing in Lagos, the hip-hop star stated that Nigeria is “nowhere near” as unsafe as the United States and encouraged foreigners to visit and see for themselves.
In a video message, DDG said, “I honestly think America is the most dangerous country. Nigeria is not as dangerous as America – nowhere near. Yes, there is some insecurity, but gun violence and gang activity are far less common than in the US. If anyone wants to experience Nigeria, come through.”
DDG also shared that he was warned Nigerian food might be unhealthy and advised to boil water before drinking. Contrary to these warnings, he praised local cuisine, particularly jollof rice, describing it as very healthy.
