Rapper and YouTuber DDG plans to leave the U.S. for Lagos, Nigeria, citing frustration with America in a recent post on his X account.
The Los Angeles-based entertainer made this revelation on Monday through a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Expressing his frustration with life in the U.S., he wrote, “I wanna move to Lagos… I’m tired of being in America.”
DDG’s growing interest in Nigeria
While DDG did not provide further details about his decision, his statement quickly sparked discussions among fans. Many speculated on what might be driving the move. Some pointed to his growing connection to Nigerian culture, while others wondered if music or personal relationships played a role.
DDG, known for blending rap with YouTube content creation, has a massive online following. His music career has earned him millions of streams, while his YouTube videos often give fans a glimpse into his personal life.
A possible connection to Burna Boy?
Interestingly, DDG’s announcement comes at a time when Chloe Bailey, the sister of his ex-girlfriend, Halle Bailey, has been visiting Nigeria frequently. Chloe has been rumored to be in a relationship with Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy.
This has led some fans to speculate whether DDG’s decision is influenced by Chloe’s recent trips. However, he has not confirmed any link between his relocation plans and the singer’s visits.
Nigeria’s growing appeal to global artists
In recent years, Nigeria has gained international attention as a cultural and entertainment hub. Afrobeats has taken the global music scene by storm, attracting artists from around the world. Lagos, in particular, has become a hotspot for international collaborations and performances.

Several foreign musicians have visited Nigeria to explore its vibrant music industry. Some have even hinted at future projects with local artists. With DDG now expressing interest in moving to Lagos, his fans are eager to see if this could lead to new music collaborations with Nigerian stars.
Fans react to DDG’s announcement
DDG’s post has generated mixed reactions online. Some fans welcomed the idea, encouraging him to explore Nigeria’s rich culture and music scene. Others questioned whether he was serious or simply venting frustrations about life in America.
One fan responded, “Lagos is the place to be! You’ll love the energy and culture here.” Another wrote, “Is this for real, or just a random thought? Moving is a big decision!”
Despite the speculation, DDG has not shared any concrete plans about when or how he intends to relocate. It remains to be seen whether his statement will turn into action or remain just an idea.
For now, fans will be watching closely to see if the rapper makes any moves toward his Lagos dream.
