He can also be called an AA despite of his Nigerian origin. It goes both ways.

From"Wikipedia" the online encyclopedia - He is realy Nigerian.


After his parents, a Muslim father from Oyo State, Nigeria and a Christian mother separated in his early teenage years, Chamillionaire settled into a notoriously dangerous inner-city neighborhood in North West Houston called Acres Homes, which he elaborated upon during an interview with Houston's 104.9 KPTY on October 3. Rap and other forms of secular music, which his parents had highly opposed in their household, became very appealing to the young Hakeem Seriki. Inspired by local rap acts such as The Geto Boys, 8 Ball & MJG, and UGK, as well as other national acts such as N.W.A. and Public Enemy, Chamillionaire began to compose his own rhymes.

At a young age, Chamillionaire, along with fellow rap music artist and childhood friend Paul Wall, had decided to make music their careers. One day while promoting themselves at a Texas event, he and Paul Wall ran into Michael 5000 Watts, a popular mixtape DJ from the Northside. After proposing to do promotions for Watts' company, the Swishahouse, Chamillionaire and Paul Wall came to Watts' studio and convinced Watts to allow them freestyle on an intro to Watts' radio show on Houston’s 97.9 The Box. Watts, who himself was convinced to rap on the record, enjoyed the freestyle so much that he put the verses on one of his mixtapes. The freestyle became so popular in the streets that Chamillionaire and Paul Wall became regular staples on Houston's mixtape circuit, appeared on several of Watts' mixtapes, and became permanent members of Swishahouse.

Although Paul Wall and Chamillionaire were making much noise in the streets by rapping on Watts' mixtapes, they, along with several other members of the Swishahouse, became frustrated with the lack of money they were receiving from the mixtapes. After fellow member Slim Thug left the label, Chamillionaire and Paul Wall followed and started their own mixtape group known as The Color Changin' Click. Each successive mixtape released by The Color Changin' Click led to more business opportunities; the most notable of which being a contract to do a full album for Paid in Full Records. A one album contract was then negotiated between the Color Changin' Click and Paid in Full's label head, DJ Madd Hatta from 97.9 The Box, and the CCC's first album, Get Ya Mind Correct, would go on to sell over 100,000 copies.

The sale of all these albums without the backing of a major deal caught the attention of several major labels wanting to sign Chamillionaire and Paul. Chamillionaire and his labelmates decided to remain independent, however, until the right deal came along. While working on his second album with the Color Changin' Click, Chamillionaire began to have creative differences with Paul Wall, so much so that it was decided that the two emcees should each release solo albums that would be packaged together. When Chamillionaire became dissatisfied with how things were being resolved, he left Paid in Full and his almost complete album after fulfilling his contractual obligations to focus on promoting his mixtape label Chamillitary instead.

Re: Chamillionaire Is A Nigerian by MobLO: 11:57pm On Jun 26, 2007
Listen if a person of ghanian descent born in naija and his father left him as a baby, and he lives in Agege that is what he will rep. He knows nothing of Ghana, never been there has no connection to the place. The same case for chammilionaire texas is all he knows so you guys get off his dick. Always trying to criticize people without viewing possible perspectives to the cause of the situation.
Re: Chamillionaire Is A Nigerian by chiogo(f): 12:19am On Jun 27, 2007
chamillionaire ain't no damn Nigerian. Akon was born here in the states. who doesn't know he's from senegal. He reps his country in every video he does. Nigerians and rumors. His name might be "hakeem" or whatever. African-americans also bear such names. I have a bajan classmate. Her name is "Jamila" which i believe is a nigerian name and her middle name is "Ayo", a yoruba name. so, chamillionaire answerin' "hakeem" doesn't make him a nigerian. I've seen african-americans with such names.

Re: Chamillionaire Is A Nigerian by MobLO: 1:54pm On Jun 27, 2007
Phil beckley you are a liar from what it seems, first off the name is Miami Heat for one thing. At least you should know how to spell your team name. Secondly I am an active follower of the Miami heat and nobody is named Phil beckley.
Carry Go!

Chamillionaire is Nigerian, 100%. You can read the interview in Vibe if you want to, who says he's denying his heritage?
