"Where Are You Safe At?" — Wale Addresses Boko Haram Attacks In Nigeria

Earlier this month, Nigeria suffered a terrorist attack by Boko Haram terrorists on Baga, a town in north-east Nigeria where it was rumoured that over 2,000 people were killed. And like many us, Olubowale Victor Akintimehin, a.k.a Wale doesn't understand why this senseless violence is happening. The rapper who was born to Nigerian parents; recently sat down with MTV News to discuss his feelings on the recent mass murder.

“It’s f–ked up and it’s just like, ‘Where are you safe at? Where?”

“Something as pure as religion which is essentially love, love for mankind and respect and loyalty to your spirit, a loyalty within self, a love within self. It’s so crazy that has been used as a tool to kill, to murder and to have no boundaries. 

That’s the most unfortunate thing. If you can take religion and use that as something to spin and make it hell on earth.”

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.
