Jidenna is in Nigeria for the second time in two years. Most likely without the AK47s and the need to protect himself from kidnappers.
The ‘Classic Man’ singer shook Nigeria after his father’s burial last year, when he stated that people like him are more likely to get kidnapped because they are seen as more valuable.
‘So for me being light-skinned in Nigeria, in our family, it was difficult. We have been hounded. We have been robbed. Our family has been assaulted’, he told UK’s Vlad TV

‘Therefore when we go to our village, when I actually buried my father I had to bring in a lot of AK47, I had to employ military commandos because when you are light skinned, you are a heavier target for being kidnapped because you are seen as more valuable’, the ‘Classic Man’ singer said at the time.
His second coming, to push his debut album, evokes the drama that came up from his first visit.
Jidenna suddenly wants to make Naija music money
We are suddenly good people who don’t kidnap light skin people
No more gun imports

Lol, is funny how Jidenna thinks AK47 would have saved him if kidnappers wanted him. Dude you came home with the help of contributions.
