Lagos, Nigeria – American rapper and model Rubi Rose took her enthusiasm for her Nigerian experience to new levels during her recent visit to Lagos. While most tourists are busy taking selfies with the beautiful coastline or exploring the bustling markets, Rubi has her sights set on something – or should we say someone – far more intriguing: Nigerian men. Yes, you heard it right! In a lively conversation with Almera Danjuma, Rubi made no secret of what she values most about Nigeria.
In a charmingly candid interview, the rapper expressed her affection for local men with a wink and a giggle. When Almera asked her what she likes most about Nigeria, Rubi grinned and replied, “I like Nigerian boys the best about Nigeria!” Everyone in the room burst into laughter and it became clear that Rubi’s love for Nigerian culture goes far beyond that the men go out.
“Honestly, I love the food too,” she added with an infectious grin. And who can blame her? Nigerian cuisine is a taste explosion that will make even the most demanding palate dance. From jollof rice that could spark an international debate to the spicy suya skewers known for igniting flames of passion (or at least hunger), there’s a reason many say, “You have.” “You haven’t lived until you’ve tried Nigerian dishes.”

Rubi’s charm is palpable and her enthusiasm for Nigerian men and food is understandable. She understands what many outsiders may not: Nigeria is all about warmth, laughter and, yes, a good helping of delicious pepper soup.
But wait, there’s more! In an adorable twist, Rubi pointed out that she even has a Nigerian name – Oluwa Ruby. The rapper’s humorous tone as he said this almost made you feel like you were in on an inside joke. “And when they call me Oluwa Ruby, I just feel like part of the family!” She joked, stressing that her love affair with Nigeria is much more than a fleeting fling.
Rubi’s playful banter not only made the interview entertaining but also painted a vivid picture of her experiences in Nigeria. She spoke about how men in Nigeria exude a refreshing and appealing confidence. “Nigerian men are so charming! They have this swagger that just makes you want to keep chatting,” she said. Did someone say “charming”? Single ladies, where are you?
It is important to note that Rubi’s affection for Nigerian culture goes beyond mere romantic interests. She openly praised the community spirit and kindness of the people she met during her short stay. “Everyone is so welcoming,” she said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. It is clear that the warmth of the Nigerian people fascinated them as much as the local gentlemen.
Another highlight of the interview was Rubi’s honest perspective on contemporary Nigerian music. As a rapper, she appreciates the impressive talent in the music scene. With artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid and Tems making waves across the globe, it’s no wonder someone in their profession is taking notice. “I love the vibe of the Nigerian music scene,” she said, bobbing her head to the rhythm. “There’s just something about it that makes you want to move. Plus, the beats can’t be beat!”
Given her impressive track record as a rising star in the hip-hop world, Rubi’s comments on Nigerian music are a testament to the genre’s rapid global rise. After all, when an American rapper raves about Afrobeats, it might be the best free publicity Nigerian artists could ask for.
And as if that wasn’t enough to make her visit memorable, Rubi shared her thoughts on Nigerian fashion. Let’s just say, she might be drooling a little over the colorful traditional clothing the country has to offer. “The colors, the patterns – everything is just so beautiful. “I’m here taking notes for my next outfit,” she joked, flipping her hair back dramatically.
As the interview came to an end, there was a feeling of mutual admiration between Rubi and her interviewer. It’s not every day that you find someone who can both serenade with their voice and captivate with an honest opinion about the appeal of Nigerian culture, all with a touch of humor.
