Controversial Nigerian entertainer, Speed Darlington, has said he fared better in Nigeria than in the United States, citing mental and physical wellbeing challenges during his time abroad.
Speaking in a recent statement, the outspoken artiste revealed that life in the U.S. negatively affected his self-confidence, mental health and social life, despite having access to the country.
According to him, his experience in America was marked by repeated arrests and criminal records, which he said contributed to emotional instability and a decline in self-worth.
“America didn’t favour me; Nigeria favours me more because the U.S. society is not conducive to my mental and physical wellbeing,” he said.
Speed Darlington also claimed that cultural barriers, particularly his accent, made social interactions difficult, especially with women, further affecting his confidence while living in the U.S.
“In America, my self-confidence was very low. I struggled to talk to women because of my accent,” he added.
The entertainer, known for his provocative remarks and social media presence, noted that while he appreciates having access to the United States, he feels more accepted and stable in Nigeria.
Speed Darlington has, in recent years, remained a polarising figure in Nigeria’s entertainment space, frequently making headlines for controversial statements and encounters with authorities.
