Straight Outta Bangkok: What It’s Like to be a Nigerian Rapper in Thailand
BANGKOK — On his way to film a rap music video, Junior was inexplicably stopped by the BTS guard – who did not stop anyone else.
Clinton “Junior” Okoroji, a Thai-born Nigerian, recalls that the guard searched his backpack thoroughly with a flashlight.
Pointing to the tripod in his backpack, the BTS guard said, “Is this a knife?”
“I couldn’t even speak; I was boiling with rage. I told myself to jai yen,” he said in a live interview with a Thai black empowerment group. “This was racism. There were so many people wearing backpacks, but he only checked mine.”
In a followup phone interview with Khaosod English, the 26 year old talked about his experiences of growing up black in Thailand, fraught with racism and constantly being stopped by police.
“Being stopped and checked by police is like a regular occurrence,” Junior said. “It’s daily life for black people here. Every time I get stopped I have to explain myself so much.”
Once, when he was on a Grab bike on the way to BTS On Nut, his bike was suddenly flanked by three police motorcycles. After parking, speaking in Thai, and showing his passport, the police officer tried to insist that Junior’s visa had expired, even though it hadn’t.
“He kept asking more and more questions such as if I was smoking, until I said, ‘hey, I want to go to the BTS. What do you want?’” Junior recalled. “Some police don’t know how to check visas.”

On August 9, A man attacked an officer, took his gun, and fled to his house in Plang Yao District, Chachoengsao Province. The officer then tried to persuade him to surrender for more than 6 hours but still failed.
Later at 6:00 pm, Plangyao Police Station decided to send 50 officers from a special operations unit in Chachoengsao Province.
The standoff lasted until 11:00 p.m. and the villain still showed no signs of surrendering.
So, they decided to chain his doors and windows preventing him from escaping until the next day rather than risk any of the officers or even the suspect’s life.
Meanwhile, the Royal Thai Police in Chachoengsao Province started to process a search warrant for the next morning after leaving a couple of police officers to watch the house.
Later, Col. Sonthaya revealed that the perpetrator was named Mr. Anon, 45, at the house in Tha Bunmi Subdistrict, Koh Chan District, Chonburi Province, who went into a drunken methamphetamine rampage and destroyed his neighbor’s ricefields.
Chachoengsao Province
Police tried to intervene but Mr. Anont took a gun from Officer Or Sor and ran away. Mr. Anon’s daughter also reported his unusual behavior saying he was showing signs of aggressive behavior telling officers to exercise caution especially since he had a gun.
Police hope he will surrender after bringing a search warrant after the drugs wear off. To be continued……..
Later, it was reported that the suspect had escaped through the back of his house prior to officers boarding up his doors and windows. Police then conducted a search of the house and did not find the stolen gun. Police are still searching for the armed and dangerous suspect now.
