American rapper Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., also known as DDG, has described Western media propaganda on Nigeria as "fake".
The hip-hop musician, who is now on vacation in Lagos, stated that contrary to Western propaganda, Nigeria is "nowhere near" as dangerous as the United States.
He urged foreigners to visit Nigeria to see things for themselves.
Speaking in a video broadcast, DDG said, "I honestly think America is the most dangerous country. I don't think Nigeria is as dangerous as America - nowhere near.
"No doubt, there is insecurity in Nigeria. But gun violence and gangsterism is not common in Nigeria as in America. So, if anybody is thinking about coming to Nigeria, pull up."
DDG also said that he was taught Nigerian foods were unhealthy and that he should always boil water before drinking in Nigeria.
He claimed that, contrary to popular belief, Nigerian food, particularly jollof, are extremely nutritious.
