Minutes after the online release of the Nigerian version of Rick Ross’ “Hold me Back” video, Nigerians on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have since rained curses and insults on the rapper for his audacity at showing Nigeria in its poorest and most ghetto form.

stagger: Who deserves more verbal abuse?

Your "I had no shoes" President who says that the subsidy protests were stage managed OR

A foreign musician who went straight to the ghetto to show Naija as it is (as opposed to our own musicians who prefer to talk about shaking bum bums, going down low, chopping my money when many children around them and in their village are yet to eat a meal in 2 days, etc)?

THOSE ABUSING RICK ROSS SHOULD GO BACK AND THINK ABOUT THEIR LIVES!

wandeay: shiit! Ricky is getting it on his brain negatively, Nigerians are rich, a lot of people earn @ least 15k a month, but our govt needs to put somethings in place in order to ease the hardship we face, so the blame ought to be casted on the govt not the masses, ricky, most ghetto in US are almost as Nigeria's e.g Pine Bluff in Arkansas

solidbroda: The Rick ross is already a mess. He smokes weed, cracks, takes bitches, selfish, arrogant, he is old but dresses like a 5 year old. What moral or legacy is he putting down? And what do upcoming youths really wanna learn from him. How to smoke weed To me, he is just a over hyped big hippo.

vanstanzy: Rick Ross just shot a video that's fetching him millions as we speak, while some Nigerians' are busy breaking their heads. Daddy Showkey and co. that made videos' of the ghetto in their songs nko, have they been hanged? Serious countries across the globe have slums, e.g. US, UK, Brazil, India etc, e come be Nigeria way no go get. Rick Ross has done well in showing the world what our INSENSITIVE govt have been doing with our numerous resources. While the down-trodden suffer in abject PENNURY. Abeg, those Nigerians' calling for Rick Ross' head on a plate are just sheer IGNORANT. Our govt just needs to sit up. They (govt) are the ones we are supposed to be fighting not Rick Ross. So guyz, just take a chill-pill.

Guy, 15k rich for ur eyes? Hope u are just being sarcastic?

kolo007: @Vanstanzy, well said bro well said.... There is poverty every where and really very bad in Nigeria, we are only just managing to manage. Presonaly I dont see anything wrong with this video.

Can u imagine those govt %@@$tards blocking most access roads in Abuja cos of some stupid national award crap. Those guys are demonic and dont care about me or you.... >>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<

solidbroda: what message? Is it only in Nigeria that we have poor people and shanties or slums, or only in Nigeria that we have corrupt govt officials? Or is it only in Nigeria that everything seems awkward? We have loads of ghettos and shanties, corrupt govt official in America. But they don't portray such in music videos. Let someone sing about America that it is poor and lots of people are corrupt, then if that person won't be destroyed by the C.I.A or FBI .

~Bluetooth:

Summarize please.

The Video showed your clans men running after Rick Ross, swimming atlantic ocean in pursuit of his speed boat, while he was tossing 1 dollar bills at them and laughing like a a`ss.. Your people made us look bad in Rick Ross' video..

SlyIg: I cant even read that long thread,try to summarise it next time pls. But i can guess what its all abt sha.
Talk of Rick Ross new naija ghetto version of 'hold me back', he came to our country and used one of the best locations for d ordinary citizens who are not wealthy or into politics. Was that slum faked up or isnt it a place in our country? Someone said he shld have gone to Abj or Obudu to shoot his video,i laughed. Poor we! We are showing the whole world what we arent. When our own musicians are busy running to South Africa to shoot their video when we have better places like the makoko for them. Lols.

Mr. Globe:

when people say someone(particularly men) is old and dresses like a kid I don't know what and how they mean, how do 'old people' dress exactly and who made that rule. why should a man worry about how another man should dress.

Nigerians insulting rick ross are just stup!d. The video was shot somewhere in Nigeria and that slum on the video is even a luxury to other slums in the country. Keep whining about rick ross and continue allowing your politicians to keep on looting. I think the inhabitants of that slum will be thankful to God for this exposure. Some people are saying he should have shot it in some 'posh places', is there any posh place in Nigeria apart from some places in Abuja. Nigeria is a mess, if you think otherwise, you are only a fool!

Odinaka00: Ť☺ my amazement I saw a guy on top bike carrying motor spare parts lolz...... Ŧħåϯ guy must βξ igbo guy hehe

Why did you have to drag tribalism into this issue?! We are talking about how Lagosians were embarassing Nigeria on Rick Ross' video and the only thing you could say was 'an Igbo man on okada'?!
