Nigerian rapper, Olatunji Oladotun Alade, popularly known as Dotman, has expressed regret over his decision to relocate from Nigeria to the United States.

The 32-year-old artiste from Ogun State made the emotional revelation on Friday evening through a post on his Instagram page.

He disclosed that although he has been keeping his struggles private, he has been suffering in silence since moving abroad.

The father of two explained that he has not seen his children for over two years, Naija News reports.

Despite being thankful for life, the Akube crooner admitted that he now wished he had never left Nigeria.

“Today I regret ever deciding to leave Nigeria and move to the USA. I have been struggling so much in silence. Haven’t seen my kids for about two years now. I am grateful to God that I am alive still but I wish I never moved out here honestly”, he wrote.

His post sparked reactions from fans and followers.

A user, timo_sterling, advised him to delete the post, warning, “Take down this your post because of your future status in the USA ????. This might affect you becoming US citizen.”

Another follower, femi_drealtor wrote: “Stay strong fam but this is exactly what we tell artistes. Do you think Davido, Burna, Big Wiz no get sense? The western life is expensive and they will not give you the visibility that you need. You will spend more money and make less and the home fans that grew with you will start dropping off.”
