The rapper stressed that while Nigerians are widely known for their resilience and ability to persevere in difficult conditions, they still need support from the global community to address ongoing issues affecting safety and stability in the country.
“Nigerians need help. We need people to speak up for us as well. We need to protect Nigerians. There is so much injustice in Nigeria,” he added.
