In a recent video circulating online, the rapper expressed regret over his personal life, noting that despite holding foreign citizenship, he lacks the family and respect he truly desires.
The entertainer explained that while many people see an American passport as a major achievement, he has come to realise that building a family and earning respect mean far more to him than immigration status.
“I'm near 60. I never marry. No child. Every time I see a girl I like, handcuffs comes in my head. Na like this I wan live my life. All I have to show is the American paper. I want more than American paper out of life. I want family. I want freedom. I want respect,” he said in the short clip.
Akpi's comments sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users sympathised with his reflections, others mocked him.
