American rapper DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., has sparked heated conversations online after declaring that he feels safer in Nigeria than in the United States.
The hip-hop star made the statement during his January 2026 visit to Nigeria, where he praised the country’s communal spirit compared to America’s deep divisions.
In a video making the rounds, DDG claims that his time in Nigeria opened his eyes to the country’s unity, while insisting that America is the most divided nation in the world.
DDG went further to explain how he views crime differently in both countries. He suggested that robberies in Nigeria are usually linked to survival and needs rather than personal anger or hatred.
Recall that the 28 year old Michigan born rapper recently revealed his ancestry test results where it was discovered that he is of significant Nigerian heritage by as much as 22%. This has led him to embrace his roots, change his social media bio and visit Nigeria.
