Speed Darlington is a Nigerian singer
Controversial Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has disclosed that all he has got from his 23 years in the United States is criminal records.
The rapper made this known while comparing his achievements in Nigeria to those in the US.
Speaking in a recent video cited by DAILY POST, Darlington, who explained that he left America with nothing, stated that he built his mansion with the money he made in Nigeria.
While narrating how the US took away his self-confidence because he’s a black man, he said: “America did not favour me. I have access to the USA, but I don’t want to be there all the time. America has no favour for 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 I should 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. American society is not conducive to 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 overprove 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 Nigeria. 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 the centre of everything and be caged. I did not leave America with money.”
