The Hip-Hop star went live from Nigeria and completely flipped the script on people’s perceptions of the country.
The rapper is currently vacationing in Lagos as part of the Detty December festivities. He’s been posting videos and going live, showing his followers what Nigeria is really like. DDG got real about the differences between the two countries. He pointed out that gun violence and gang activity happen way more in America than in Nigeria. The rapper also talked about how he was taught wrong things about Nigerian food and water before his trip. He said people told him Nigerian food was unhealthy and that he should always boil water before drinking it.
But DDG discovered the opposite was true. He said Nigerian food, especially jollof rice, is actually super nutritious and healthy. His comments sparked huge debates online. Some Nigerians agreed with him, while others said he was only seeing the nicer parts of Lagos, such as Victoria Island and Lekki.
But other people backed up his claims. They pointed out that America has way more school shootings and random gun violence than Nigeria. They said you can walk around most Nigerian cities without worrying about getting shot.
