Clearly, fans in the United States aren’t the only ones who like Childish Gambino’s “This is America” video.

The song by the artist, aka Donald Glover,  has gotten a lot of  attention by rappers in other nations, including Nigeria.

Childish Gambino’s video weighs in on American culture and  major issues including racism, guns and police violence.

Nigerian rapper, actor, songwriter and lawyer, Falz the Badh Guy, has gone viral with his cover, “This is Nigeria.” In it, Falz does his  own social commentary calling attention to corruption, drugs, violence and socio-economic disparities in the West African nation.

“This is Nigeria,” , in which Falz is also shirtless, has even garnered praise from Diddy.

In an interview on a Nigerian television show, Falz said he hopes to “awaken everyone” with the music video. “Things are upside down.”
