Jay-Z ...as an Igbo man

[O.T.I.S.]

Nice pics but people really are obsessed with celebrities man..

 

[get these nets]

What he’s wearing looks like the traditional dress of Cameroon.

Impressive that you noted that.
Was it the colors or the design of the shirt?

BTW This is the look the artist was going for.....
(For those who don't know)

Oh, ok. So why repost it here, now?

Its bait. So now this thread is gonna be full of Africans and pannies loving on each other while discouraging any dissenting opinion. Regular ados such as myself who think this weird af are effectively silenced.

I'm guessing Jay wanted to see his roots


He seems to be alright with it


And also he is from Brooklyn which is a super melting pot of all kinds of black people


He dont seem like one of those that want to war with other black people


But hey some want to war with other black people


If that's the case let them do them




I dont believe in that because I'm from Brooklyn myself


And my family is mixed with all kinds of black folks from around the globe



It's horrible people no matter the background


And there are really good people from all backgrounds


I will never bash any black folks and say ...


"It's because of where they come from"



It's not my thing

Thank you for proving my point.

If I recall there are Igbo in south west Cameroon also(the English speaking part of the country) .....though the ethnic group I think you are talking about(in terms of attire) are not Igbo.

This is true. Igbos got split in two with the creation of the Nigerian/Cameroon border so north western Cameroon are genetically Igbo.

The traditional dress is either Bamileke or Bamoun but is the characteristic black and yellow/orangish design.

Is the artist Ghanaian American?

Heavy Ghanaian theme in the work of his shown in the thread.

He does have a Ghanaian background, I'd have to look up his "Story" on life details in terms of where he was raised and such.
Though now that you mention it, given the nature of the work I'd say you are probably right on the money in terms of him being Ghanaian American.
(Given the subjects of all his work being U.S. Citizens ....well short of Rihanna & Drake)
