Lagos, Nigeria – American rapper and model, Rubi Rose, has taken her enthusiasm for her Nigerian experience to new heights during her recent visit to Lagos. While most tourists are busy snapping selfies with the beautiful coastline or checking out 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 bones about what she treasures 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 her favorite thing about Nigeria is, Rubi grinned and replied, “Nigerian boys are my favorite things about Nigeria!” Laughter erupted from everyone in the room, and it became clear that Rubi’s fondness for Nigerian culture extends far beyond just the men.
“Honestly, I love the food, too,” she added with an infectious grin. And who can blame her? Nigerian cuisine is a flavor explosion that can make even the most discerning palate dance with joy. From jollof rice that could spark an international debate to the spicy suya skewers that have been known to ignite flames of passion (or at least hunger), there’s a reason why many say, “you haven’t lived until you’ve tried Nigerian dishes.”

Rubi’s charm is palpable, and her enthusiasm for both Nigerian men and food is relatable. She understands what many outsiders may not: in Nigeria, it’s all about the warmth, the laughter, and, yes, a good dose of delicious pepper soup.
But wait, there’s more! In a delightful twist, Rubi pointed out that she even has a Nigerian name—Oluwa Ruby. The rapper’s humorous tone when stating it almost made you feel like you were being let in on an inside joke. “And when they call me Oluwa Ruby, I just feel like I’m part of the family!” she joked, making a point to highlight that her love affair with Nigeria is far more than a fleeting dalliance.
Rubi’s playful banter not only made the interview enjoyable but also painted a vivid picture of her experiences in Nigeria. She spoke about how men in Nigeria carry an air of confidence that is refreshing and appealing. “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 you at?
It’s important to note that Rubi’s affection for Nigerian culture goes beyond just romantic interests. She openly praised the community spirit and friendliness of the people she has encountered during her brief stay. “Everyone is so welcoming,” she stated, her eyes twinkling with excitement. It’s clear that what has captivated her as much as the local gents is the warmth of the Nigerian people.
Another highlight from the interview was Rubi’s honest take on contemporary Nigerian music. As a rapper, she can’t help but appreciate the impressive talent that the music scene boasts. With artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tems making waves around the world, it’s no wonder that someone in her profession would take notice. “I’m loving the vibes from Nigeria’s music scene,” she said, bobbing her head in rhythm. “There’s just something about it that makes you want to move. Plus, you can’t beat the beats!”
Given her impressive pedigree as a rising star in the hip-hop world, Rubi’s comments on Nigerian music stand as a testament to the genre’s rapid ascendance globally. After all, when an American rapper raves about Afrobeats, it might just 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 musings about Nigerian fashion. Let’s just say, she might be drooling a little over the vibrant traditional attire that the country offers. “The colors, the patterns—everything is just so beautiful. I’m here, taking notes for my next outfit,” she joked, tossing her hair back dramatically.
As the interview wrapped up, there was a sense of mutual admiration shared between Rubi and her interviewer. It’s not every day you find someone who can both serenade with a voice and captivate with an honest opinion about the allure of Nigerian culture, all while adding a sprinkle of humor.
