American rap icon and record producer Trevor Smith Jr., famously known as Busta Rhymes, has stunned fans by revealing plans to relocate and make Nigeria his permanent home.
The 53-year-old artist shared his vision during a performance at the Detty December Fest in Lagos, describing his current visit as the fulfillment of a dream he has nurtured for over 15 years.
A Long-Awaited Dream and Family Ambitions
Busta Rhymes expressed a deep connection to the country, stating that he is actively looking to invest in property and build a new life in West Africa.
“I’m looking for a home here, I’m looking for property. I’m thinking about looking for a wife so that when I stop working, I can settle down here,” the rapper told the cheering crowd.
The rapper’s desire to settle in Nigeria reflects a growing trend of prominent members of the African diaspora seeking to reconnect with their roots and invest in the continent’s emerging cultural and economic hubs.
Personal Background
Busta Rhymes is currently an unmarried father of six. His announcement suggests he is looking toward a future beyond the high-intensity world of global hip-hop, prioritizing peace and cultural heritage in his retirement years.
The news has sparked massive excitement across Nigerian social media, with many fans welcoming the “Conglomerate” boss and offering suggestions for where he should buy his first home.
