      Only one of his parents is Nigerian lol and he’s said many times his growing up life he saw a lot of abuse verbally and physically as well as drug abuse especially from his mother. He just grew into this person on his own cause he’s also told us that before now he was one of those “bad boys”.

    85 to Africa album has a sound akin to music I’ve heard from Rihanna and jay electronica and I’m here for it. I wonder if got the warrior tattoo because he has Polynesian heritage? Also jidenna excels at everything he puts his mind to for instance in his Bambi video his acting was on point and most hip hop artists and singers shy away from committing to a character other than one similar to themselves. Jidenna seems like a natural at acting. Beyond his videos I liked his cameo in luke cage and I hope he snatches up some more roles.

      Africa is a Continent and we have 58 countries in Africa just like how Europe is a continent too and they have 44 countries in Europe today, according to the United Nations. and we usually call the name of each country in Europe with no pressure like German,y UK, France, so on and so forth. But when it comes to Africa, yall lump us up together LOL and we get offended quickly like yo' listen to point of correction, I'm a Nigeria and we have 36 states and I'm from Lagos state inside Nigeria just like u say u from new york state inside America.
