Controversial Nigerian artist Speed Darlington revealed that his 23 years in the US have only resulted in criminal records.
The rapper revealed this while contrasting his accomplishments in Nigeria with those in the United States.
Darlington, who claimed to have left America with nothing, said in a recent video that he used the money he earned in Nigeria to build his mansion.
While narrating how the US took away his self confidence because he’s a black man, he said: “America did not favor me. I have access to the USA but I don’t want to be there all the time. America no favor me and I’m not ashamed to say it. The only thing I have is criminal records, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest is all I got from the USA.
“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.”
