His father, Sir Robert Bryson Hall, is African-American. His mother, Terry, is white. Logic is pictured with his father here. Writing about his mother, in his book This Bright Future: A Memoir by Bobby Hall, 2021, on page 11, he said:
My mom told me her heritage was German and English, which to look at her was true, I guess. She had green eyes and pale skin with freckles and brown hair that she always wore short, never past her shoulders.
Logic is married to clothing designer Brittney Noell, with whom he has a son.
Logic’s paternal grandfather was Robert Lloydell/Loydell Hall (the son of James Hall and Willa Mae Tatem). Robert was born in Pennsylvania. Willa was born in Georgia, the daughter of Julia.
Logic’s paternal grandmother was Evelyn C. Hill (the daughter of Tolbert Hill and Ruth Howard). Evelyn was born in Pennsylvania. Tolbert and Ruth were from Georgia.
Logic’s maternal grandfather was surnamed Miller.
Logic’s maternal grandmother was Judith Mollie “Judie” Howard (the daughter of Harvey Farrington Howard and Alice Olive/Oliver Templeman). Judith was born in Oregon. Harvey was born in New Jersey, the son of Chancey Otis Howard and Alice Gertrude Rustin. Alice was born in Missouri, the daughter of Harvey Clark Templeman and Alice Hamlin, who was English, from Stockleigh Pomeroy, Devon.

He’s not bi-racial (“bi” means “two” like “bicycle” or “bisexual”) He’s MULTI-racial, like many people (maybe everyone, really, depending on what categories you are defining race.)
His dad could possibly be called bi-racial, a mix of, likely, West African with Germanic stock through England. (Remeber, skin tone darkens when receiving too much sun & heat to protect from cancer-causing ultra-violet light & lightens in colder, less sunny environments to be able to more easily recieve Vitamin D & other nutrients the sun provides, no matter who you are.)
His mother does not appear to have much Caucasian (which is a serious over-simplification when looking at ethnicity since there are only 3 categories in it: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid) but is, in actuality, of Sephardic heritage (Jewish people that settled in Latin-conquered territory) which, in the Iberian peninsula (Spain & Portugal, who were the most poly-ethnic people on the planet before the USA) & can include Vandal, Goth & other Germanic tribes, as well as their Celtic relatives, plus, potentially, Greek {both from Greece as well as through Carthage, a Phoenician settlement, which was a Greek settlement, known for Hanibal and his elephants, that controlled the Iberian Peninsula for its vast amounts of silver before the Latin people (Romans; Italians) took it, had a back-and-forth with Arab Moors over hundreds of years, both of which allowed Jewish people to move there.)
The point of all that in the above comment, in case you missed it, is to show that, while most are talking about the multiplicity of his dad, his mom, (though simply called “white”,) is the one who, in fact, is the most poly-ethnic in his rainbow heritage.
…and he’s not a bad kid, either, he just has a lot to learn about himself and, as well, the world around him, something we would all benefit from.
yeah that’s a very cool story but do you have any sources or proof his mother is Sephardic Jewish or are we just supposed to believe you?
lol
Some people state that his father is half white, which in my opinion seems to be an excuse to justify Logic’s caucasian look. Objectively, there’s no way that Hall Sr is half white. He’s darker than Quincy Jones who’s a bit more than a quarter white. I would, however, guess that Hall has around 19-25% white in him, so a bit more ethnically African than Quincy. That makes it logical for Logic to have a typically white eye color gene, as his mom most likely has light eyes as well (it’s impossible to see her eye color in the two pictures she is in due to how blurry it is).
Quincy Jones III, Quincy Jones’ Swedish son, is roughly 31.25% Sub-Saharan African and 68.75% White European. He has blue eyes as well. Now, I have met people who are 50/50 black and white who could easily pass as darker British people, but most of the time they look more like their black parent. Or you know what, if I’m gonna be honest here, most “mulattos” as we are so disgustingly called have dark brown curly hair and dark brown eyes. But there’s really no rule as to how black or white we’ll look.
If I were to guess Logic’s ethnicity, I’d say he’s roughly 36% Sub-Saharan African and 64% White European. In my opinion, he’s quite similar to Blake Griffin and Kris Humphries in that they have white traits but have a unique look that makes them look both white and black at the same time. I’ve seen too many people saying that Humphries’ dad is half black, which is evidently false. Humphries’ dad is one-quarter Irish because his grandmother was Irish, making his dad mostly black. And Humphries has green eyes, much like Logic.
Genes are kindve funny that way…
I agree with most of what you said…however, using skin tone to gauge someone’s ethnic makeup is an incorrect way to view it. I don’t know how you can say “Objectively, there’s no way that Hall Sr is half white. He’s darker than Quincy Jones who’s a bit more than a quarter white.” This makes no sense…you can be a similar skin tone to Quincy Jones or darker, and still be half white.
Yes logic!that’s how I love my biracial/mixed men,fair and lovely.
In short,his white.
Any information about his mother’s ethnicity?

Interesting look, he has.
I read about his ethnicity online and thought it was a joke, but I watched the video you posted (thanks!) and its all true.
When I first saw him I thought he was an Arab.
Geez racist much?a joke?Majority of mixed race people look like whichever gene was most dominant at that time.Sometimes genes are distributed evenly.This is why there needs to be more mixed race representation on TV,the level of ignorance is insane.Mixed race people come in all shades from dark to pale. There lots of mixed-white people out there,the thing is that you can’t spot them out cause they are white.Race is mostly a social contract.
To be truly honest, I feel like we have enough mixed race/biracial representation in the media. Most of the biggest “black” figures in music and television tend to be Half white or damn near it. We’ve got Mariah, Alicia, Key & Peele, Logic, Drake, Rashida Jones, Wentworth, Zendaya, Tinashe and Doja Cat. I actually would prefer to see more black folks on tv and popular mono racial black female artists. I’m also mixed race saying this (Black Jamaican dad, Spanish/Irish/French-Canadian mom)
I agree! These mixed people are becoming the new face of what is “black”.
Saying all that in a Nike hat?? Good Lord
