- The rapper contrasts his experiences in the U.S. with his achievements after returning to Nigeria.
Controversial Nigerian entertainer Speed Darlington has revealed that his 23-year stay in the United States left him with little to show for it, aside from multiple criminal records.
The rapper made the disclosure while reflecting on the contrast between his experiences abroad and his achievements since returning to Nigeria. In a recent video, he claimed that despite spending over two decades in America, he left the country with nothing tangible.
Darlington stated that his success in Nigeria has been more rewarding, noting that he was able to build his mansion using income earned locally. He also spoke about how his time in the US negatively affected his confidence, attributing it to the challenges he faced as a Black man.
According to him, America did not work in his favour, adding that although he can still travel there, he has no desire to remain in the country. He stressed that repeated arrests were the only lasting outcome of his years in the United States.
“So, after 23 years, I told myself it’s better for me to have access to America. I can go whenever I want to see my family for maybe 10 days, one week or 4 days, and I will turn around and return. Because American society is not conducive for my mental and physical well-being. In America, my self confidence is in the gutter. I can’t even talk to girls, I lack confidence whenever I’m in America. I’m always lonely. If I spend 9 months or two years, I will be lonely throughout, which means endless masturbation. It gets tiring.
“If I want to talk to a girl, firstly I’m worried about my accent. Is she going to laugh at me? Am I adequate? American society has an atmosphere where a black man is nothing and he has to over prove himself before he can get any respect. This is not how I want to live my life. While here I amount to something. Everybody is black and dark skinned. All these things are what I’m thinking.
“I love having access to the US anytime I want but my mansion money with swimming pool on top came from Nigerian. That fight I had with Portable was how I finished my mansion decking. That money helped me very well. That fight did not take place in Las Vegas, it took place in Lagos, Nigeria. It is better to be in a forest climbing trees and be free than to be in a center of everything and being caged. I did not leave America with money.”
