The music star made the comment while reflecting on his recent experience in the United States, where he said he noticed a clear difference in day-to-day financial expectations compared to Nigeria.

BNXN stated that one of the most striking changes for him was the absence of constant monetary requests he often experiences in Lagos.

According to him, life in the United States feels financially simpler, with fewer informal demands placed on individuals by acquaintances and social networks.

“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money,” he said.

He argued that while Los Angeles is widely regarded as one of the most expensive cities in the United States, the cost of living experience differs significantly from Lagos due to additional social pressures in Nigeria.

BNXN explained that housing appears to be the major expense in Los Angeles, while other aspects of daily life are relatively straightforward.

“The only thing expensive in LA is housing. Here you just pay your rent and you’re good,” he added.
