‘Hell On Earth’ Rapper ‘Wale’ Reacts To The Recent Boko Haram Attack Killing 2,000 Nigerians In Baga ‘

The devastating terrorist attacks that have been occurring in Nigeria continue to make headlines today. The unfortunate events, including a mass kidnapping that sparked the viral hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, have even gained the attention of rapper Wale, who has a special connection to the country and has compared the attacks to hell on earth.

"My dad is out there right now, he's in Nigeria — and I believe it's north Nigeria," the "Bad" emcee told MTV News. "My dad is in the country ... part."
Wale, who is American by birth, has family from Nigeria, where violence has become common place for years. "It's f****d up and it's just like, 'Where are you safe at? Where?'" he said.

Wale delivered a universal message on what he feels really matters: “It’s one of those things where we can complain all we want:

My feet hurt, my legs hurt, my back hurts, my girl broke up with me’ — you got to look a little deeper into the world. These are minuscule, minor things compared to what’s going on in the world,” the rapper concluded.
