Tyga has some asian looks.At first I thought he black and japanese.
he’s actually half vietnamese and african jamaican, he’s stated tht in like 10 interviews!!!
I ALREADY KNEW THAT HE WAS BLACK
JUST LOOK AT HIM
just waste of time
Dude, I’ve always thought Tyga was just African American! This proves you CANNOT determine a person’s race by appearance. I’ve always thought Chris Brown was mixed. But, I recently discovered he’s just African American, (although, it’s kinda obviously he’s black. Just look at his hair, and facial structure). It’s funny how things are. But that’s life!
Chris Brown is part Native American…
