Nigerian-American star, Jidenna disclosed that the reasons Nigerians often engage in fraud is because they are smarter than a lot of people.

Speaking during an interview on the Breakfast Club, Jidenna said:

”The reason why Nigerians are known for scamming is not because we are bad people. It’s because we are smarter than a lot of people”.

When asked by the presenter if he had scammed someone ever before, the handsome bachelor recalled the days he did some low key ‘scamming’.

‘ I don’t scam na. But yes, I have done a lot of things, I used to sell chains in China Town. I do buy some cheap stuffs, cheap female jewelry and sell them high to some high boys in the suburbs. I think that was a scam. But I never did the fake relationship thing. Never!”

Reacting to the recent arrest of 77 Nigerians by the FBI, Jidenna said Nigerians are smarter than a lot of people, hence the reason why they excel in sports and other spheres of life including scamming.
