I think she is Japanese, African American, and Native American as that is what her sister Mila J states in one her songs.
btw I think Chilombo might be an Angolan name.

Jhene also has Spaniard and Dominican (NOT Puerto Rican) from her mom’s side and she also got Jewish from her dad’s side. She’s actually not really related to Lil Fizz it was just for promotion that Chris Stokes started when B2K was a group.
