Darryl Dwayne Granberry, the American rapper better known as
DDG, has pushed back against perceptions of Nigeria as an exceptionally
dangerous country, arguing instead that the United States holds that title.
During a recent livestream from Nigeria, the rapper said
while the African most populous country faces security issues, they are not on
the same scale as the violence prevalent in America.
He claimed the level of violence in the US is “far larger”
and that Nigeria is “nowhere near” as dangerous.
“I think America is the most dangerous country that it is.
To be honest. I do not think Nigeria is as dangerous as America. Nowhere near.
You get robbed here for sure. But ni**as do not split weed like that here like
they do in America,” he said.
“So if anybody is thinking about coming down here should
pull up.”
DDG, who has expressed a strong connection to the country,
previously noted on Instagram that visiting Nigeria felt like “coming home.”
He also revealed that genetic testing shows he is 22 percent
Nigerian and that he loves African music. His current trip includes a scheduled
feature on a livestream with Nigerian content creator Carter Efe.
DDG began his career on YouTube in 2014 and has since
expanded into a successful music and streaming career.
