- Charly Boy expressed frustration over some fans’ backlash against his posts about US election.
- The singer stressed that his direct link to the country is his wife and children who live there, as they would be directly affected by the outcome of the elections.
Nigerian musician and activist Charly Boy has expressed his view on the current U.S. elections, referring to it as a pivotal moment for the world.
In a video shared on his Instagram account late on November 5, 2024, he discussed the relevance of the US electoral process to audiences beyond American borders.
Charly Boy conveyed his disappointment regarding some of the negative reactions from fans concerning his commentary on American politics, particularly his doubts about Donald Trump’s impact.
He noted that his personal connection to the U.S. stems from having his wife and children residing there, making him particularly invested in the election’s outcome.
In a message to his followers, he wrote:
“Good day everybody, E don happen. In the next few hours or thereabout, it’d be judgement day for America. The choice facing America is monumental globally and all eyes are focused on America, the most important election of all time.
“I feel that leadership globally has fallen to an all-time low so the rest of the world looks up to America to see if their style of democracy is still sustainable.”
“From my recent posts on my various platforms, it is evident that I am a dog in this fight; however, in my comment section, it is filled with people who are angered by my personal opinion and I ask, ‘why?’.
“People accuse me of being blatantly ignorant of American politics. Oh yeah? I just dey laugh. They feel that Donald trump is the one to save the world and I just can’t wrap my head around it. Which one is my own? Aside from the fact that my wife and children are all American citizens living over there, I’m the only person in my family who refused to have a second citizenship.
“America has become a country where dreams come true and where people from all walks of life have planted the flags of hope for a better life”.
