His name is Clifford wow never knew that lol
We can all agree on somthing, he along the line somewhere is mixed with a lighter skin heritage besides african american. Thank u @ Real Deal Chavez
:) Ashanti is so fine.
Although T.I. looks Jewish. He might just be native-African-american. On the travel channel, I saw a couple of black jews who looked very similar to T.I, and you know how the native-Jews look. Do some comparisons and see what you get. -You know the white Jews, but it is quiet clear that T.I. isn’t white.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH JEWISH
YOU ARE THE DUMBEST GIRL ON THE SITE
–
T.I. LOOKS JUST BLACK
LIKE HIS NAPPY HAIR
–
HE DOESNT HAVE ANY NATIVE
OR WHAT EVER
HE WOULD SAY IT
HES AFRICAN AMERICAN
No ; T.I. is blackk & has Native American blood in him also. You can tell by his almond eyes , his cheek bones, & his skin color is lighter than someone who isn’t mixed . You can look it up on any other websites .
hate to break it to you but most african americans are NOT native american like they like to believe, they are white. they have white blood in them because of the slave trade. Only about 1/100 African Americans have native american heritage. T.I clearly has white somewhere down the line.
To GeorgeJeanPierre
1 in 100?Even Gates said 1 in 20.Blood gets diluted over time,if there is no new infusion.People who may have had it in their family 7 generation ago,will test negative now.Like I said with tina turner who is 1% native,and gates says look you got zip.Check her grandkids,they most likely will be negative.However the heritage is in the bloodline,just not measurable anymore.This is Just my opinion btw.
hahaha! he does not have native American in him just because he is light skinned, has high cheek bones and almond shaped eyes. Next thing your gonna say is that TI great great great grandmother was a Cherokee Princess. lol I swear everyone wants to be Native American. Some people are so stupid. Stop being ashamed of your race/ heritage and stop claiming another your not.
@NativeEyes
Where do you get this (ashamed of your race/ heritage)?You don’t know what he does,or doesn’t have.Most people go by what they are told,it has nothing to do with being ashamed.Just about every american celeb on here say they have native heritage,are they all ashamed?
