Nigerians have disowned singer, Dice Ailes after he denied his Nigerian roots.
The "Ella" crooner lent his voice to the killing of George Floyd and solicited for fans to sign petitions to hold his murderers accountable.
A fan, @rfklevar challenged him for not lending his voice to the rape issues that occurred in Nigeria over the past 72 hours.
Dice then fired back, saying he was not Nigerian.
This led to a row on Twitter as Nigerians vowed to disown the Afro-pop singer.

Even if he's not from Nigeria, this kinda response doesn't make any sense... We're all humans at all... #DiceAiles pic.twitter.com/ueOlUNyJ9r

Is #DiceAiles not a Nigerian now or he is just not bothered about the happenings in Nigeria? pic.twitter.com/dqjQts6gjx

Nigeria is a joke. Normalize that pic.twitter.com/coTWlTwI6m
Wikipedia actually classifies Dice as a Canadian.
Although the overview says the singer is Nigerian, his citizenship is actually Canadian.
