He does have indian blood. That is on real fact. Not sure if he got anything else but he does have that native blood.
Black.
Whats wrong with you people – why is it any AAs with light skinned are considered not fully black. Is it because light skinned AAs are rare? We have artist in Jamaica like Shaggy, Sean Paul, Bob Marley (I could go and on) who we in Britain and the caribbean considers black period. I am a black woman of mixed race and am proud of that.
Please Black America finish with that nonesense and stop making a mockery of blacks. Its embarassing.
Are you stupid?..all those men you named are not fully black. Bob Marley has a white father.Claim T.I as black all you want, but the reality of the matter is he is not a full blooded black man, it’s evident by looking at him
