According to PM News Nigeria, rapper DDG said the United States is more dangerous than Nigeria, pushing back on what he described as exaggerated fear narratives.
The comment split reactions online: supporters praised the outsider perspective while critics said it glosses over complex security realities.
The clip adds to a growing trend where celebrity travel content shapes perception almost as much as official advisories.
- Daily Post (Outlet): “gun violence and gangsterism is not common in Nigeria as in America.”
- TheCable Lifestyle (Outlet/X): “Nigeria is nowhere near as dangerous as America.”
Echotitbits take: Pop-culture voices can move travel sentiment quickly—especially for diaspora audiences deciding whether to visit. Still, a single visitor’s experience isn’t a national security assessment. Watch next for more on-the-ground posts from DDG (and others) that either reinforce his point or add nuance when real-life frictions show up.
