According to him, America is not what most young Africans perceive it to be because people like him wish they would live in places like Ghana where they'll feel safe forever.

"All the young Africans want to come to America. But what I'll tell them is 'Are you sure you want to be in this?'. It's not what you think it is. You'll never hear in Ghana that police have shot anyone after pulling them over. We should rather come home. Not the other way round," he said.

Steve's words drew massive reactions, particularly on TikTok.

Below were some of the comments from netizens.
