Jidenna attempted to salvage the image of Nigerians in the diaspora during a chat on The Breakfast Show.
According to the Nigerian-born American rapper, Nigerians are known for scamming is because they are smarter than people from other countries.
He said: “The reason why Nigerians are known for scamming is not because we are bad people but because we are smarter than a lot of people. So, as criminals, we gonna be the best at it and so, we will be the best at hacking and everything we do.”
Reacting to the host’s question on whether or not he had scammed someone before, Jidenna had this to say: “No, I have not scammed anyone before. I did some things; I used to sell chains from China town. I get it for cheap because, in the hood, I know all the latest jewelry and then I get the cheap ones and I take it to downtown Boston to sell to white boys. That was a scam.”
