Dont know what the fukin big deal is theres sooo many people are of carribean decent and they never say anything about the carribean -Like Collin Powell is seen as an African American as well as Louis Farrakhan .

not a big deal-

Seal Samuel- (same as tiao cruz) one of seals parent is Nigerian and one parent brazilian - fuk is da big deal Seal even married a white lady does it mean that he doesnt claim naija or what?

-thats their own personal preference of what ever.

I dont get that, if she doesnt know who her father is then how do we know she has nigerian heritage? shirley bassey i mean, how is that blck woman welsh? lmao! whatever makes them smile all day!

I have no problem with taio cruz preference, i prefer white men myself, i dont go around saying black men are not attractive, i dont have an identity crisis, nobody cares that seal married a white woman or that iman is married to a white man, if you ask them where they are from or about thier culture they will tell you about it. Black people are not full of wasted sentiments, there are times black people will dip thier bodies in acid to turn themselves white, make your hair as blonde straight and long as possible forge and accent and immerse yourself completely into a a white mans mind, thats cos it was bad to be black, its just a shame people carry that same mentality in a world where we are supposed to be free, we put ourselves in prison.
Taio is an idiot, even if hes a coconut he could have got away with simply saying there are never alot of black women at auditions, hes fooling nobody but himself and his arrogance will get him nowhere! In fact if his comments make the american media he's done for, they dont tolerate coconuts there and they dont give a shite about brazilians! the men anyways!

she is as much black as she is white.

I have no problem with taio cruz preference, i prefer white men myself

_{Black Is Soo Beautiful}

Damn, some of you are just giving yourselves headache for no reason.

thameamead:

Dame Shirley Bassey never talks about her Nigerian heitage either, she has no idea who her father is but that does not mean she should not be proud of her African heritage, most Brits don't know she's mixed race. they always say she's welsh.

Are you freaking kidding me? How is one supposed to be proud of something they're unaware of? 

All this patriotism sef. Abeg live and let live.

@Zebra543
Dame Shirley Bassey's mum had a brief relationship with a Nigerian man called Bassey but he did a runner after she was born, credit where credit due, she took his name, i kind of hate it when people refer is her as welsh, i think it would have bn nice for her to say she was mixed race (half African) i love still love her, did you see her duet with Dizzee Rascal last yr, it's on You Tube,

@Chiogo
Everyone knew her Dad was Nigerian in her neighbourwood, There was a documentary about mixed race people in the 60's on Channel 4 about five yrs ago and her neighbours and people that were close to her family were interviewed and they wondered where her father was and why he had done a disappearing act, anyway she's whatever she is, she lives in Monaco, she's a tax exile, hmmm

@ chiogo cosign

thameamead in all honesty if taio's dad had done a runner i will support him in his arrogant ways, thats enough reason to never wanna be black! thats why im even mad at him his dad is an amazing person! shirley probably took his name cos her parents were married, papers no doubt! she probably has no clu abt nigeri! who will teach her sef? shes welsh ooo her welsh mother brought her up and thats prob all she knows!

^^^^^

very st upid

I cannot believe there are 5 pages of interest on Taio Cruz!!! Dude is beyond unattractive and corny but he's young; let him make his money while he still can because he's going to be a flash in the pan like those other guys that no one remembers.

^
I agree, let him enjoy it all while it lasts coz it probably wont b for long

I had no clue he was British talk-less of Nigerian. Most of black folks in the UK are Nigerian and Mostly Yoruba.
A friend of mine went to his concert and she said he was being a bit of a di.ck! IDK haven't met the guy before

Tayo to Taio. Kewl

^^^
what's cool about it??

ell he has a Nigerian roots, for sure but they really are not Nigerians when talking about document Ok, and you silly poster here should stop calling people Gay when they aint.it make me sick, some people just use words any how, just because he is handsome , that does not mean one is Gay Ok, fools, brainless idiots, posters na person say make uns worwor una fada,

his mother is Brazilian which is considered west indian and unfortunately that is part of our culture, if we are even just half caribbean we disregard our other side and claim the carib. side as it's "exotic". I am guilty of this too i will admit. Um my mom is W.I. and my dad was (r.i.p) A.A. I do not know why we do it to be honest but if you think about it, its not cool at all. Just like Barbee who's mom is J.A. and her dad is Naija, she only reps her Jamo side despite living in Naija as a toddler. 

He should rep Naija as it was his Naija father who put him onto the singing in the first place. he's not the cutest but hes talented! I like his music. But as for ppl saying he doesn't like black women idk because I saw his "Dynamite" video and there is a black chick who he gave a major "spotlight" role on 

About black girls in videos this is what he said:

"“I like to put girls in my video that I think are hot, [if] a really hot
black girl came to a casting, she’d be in my video, I think that people even
focusing on the race issue in my videos is a problem. And I would almost react
by NEVER putting black girls in my video, because I’m that type of person –
rebellious. I’d be like, ‘If that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m never gonna put
black girls in my videos.""

Brazilians are south americans not west indians.

^You realize I am not asking you that right? ok. Guyana is not an island sweetie and what are they? Panama is NOT an island and what are they? like I said, I am West Indian and I am not asking you.

Good for you. However my point of Brazilians not being west indian still stands.

^thats fine. you have a problem with facts that is on you

*moving on. . .

MzDarkSkin:

You must be stu-pid to say that. . . I thought I'd seen the height of ignorance, and then I came to Nairaland.

Really?? I have never seen a Brazillian claim West Indian, which geographically makes no sense. Neither have I, before now, seen a Jamaican call Brazil West Indies. Hmm.

true
Brazilians are never west Indians
where do the link roots begin?

Jeez are you guys still on his case?!!!!
