yea no doubt like this guy


LMFAO!!

eldee:

Have you listened to Keira Knightley speak?? What of Robbie Williams??
Even American celebs try to speak British because it makes you sound more sophisticated.
What American celebs??   Maybe the ones who immigrated from the UK to the States but then they're still English people not Americans.

eldee:

The one you hear from Dizzie and Ndubz is the urban London accent that's heavily influenced by the Afro-carribean working class accents.
So most times, they're not trying to be Jamaican, they are Jamaican.

It spreads just the same way every black teenager in the 90s in America tried to speak with the hiphop accent.
The media is influential you know??
Ndubz and what? Have no idea who those are. Neither do I know what BBC English and Urban London accents sound like.
I was just speaking generally on the accents I've heard UK people speak with mostly here on Nairaland(the way they type) and youtube videos.

Anyway, I like the British accent, really.  grin It can be funny but it is err, posh as they say. Especially without the Jamaican slangs thingy.

Yep it is posh and sexciiiiiiiiiiiii cool.

The guys you see on youtube videos are just wanna be's and should not be taken seriously. As for Nairalanders, well your guess is as good as mine.

He does not want to be nigerian can you blame him who would, He has lost his identity, said he's part Brazilian on a US radio show but when asked about his Nigerian side said, just say im British. HE hates being black like a lot of men, hates his darkness and being black so rejects anything black , only associates with non black, and that explains his videos, as black as a black board and hates hates himself and black women but loves and would die for or get with any white women as long as she is white (lenny henry dawn french), But when it comes to black women it's NO and they will have standards for them but no standards for a white women she can be fat, ugly and low class but is still a trophy to a black man

Just like this man here, they will turn up their noses at obese black women but are too happy to take any obese non-black woman. God help these self-haters.

C'mon let's be logical here . . . any idiot knows he's not in a relationship with that woman.
You don't have to go this low to force Black guys to go out with y'all.

Point of correction . . . Taio Cruz is not self hating, he's just chosen the half of his heritage he prefers.
I don't see anything wrong with that.

I quite disagree with you, you are obviously going to pick sides so I wouldnt even bother.

Oh you're not picking sides?? You say Nigerian guys that prefer white women are self-hating and I'm the one picking sides??
To emphasize your racist point, you go on to put up an obviously staged picture of a black guy with an overly obese woman. . . that doesn't look like taking sides to you??

I don't know why y'all have a problem with these guys . . . if y'all are that pissed of, there's white guys everywhere.
F*cking Nigerians!!!

Oh . . . so it's a newspaper story??

Did you ever wonder why it was in the news??
If it were a normal every day thing would it be in the papers??
Besides, how is this representative of the of the average black man and how does this make Taio Cruz 'self hating'??

You talk about going low?? You brought a newspaper story about an overly obese woman just to imply that Taio Cruz is 'self-hating' . . . You should listen to yourself speak sometimes

They are asking not to be disrespected you dumb little boys, i.e want to be in videos still but as a love interest, the lead, you know like even a white boy like justin timberklake can do in like i love you and Robin Thicke who always does, he's married to a black woman.

They are not feeling left out for not being able to shake their butts don't be so ridiculous, they mean as in an option as a love interest you know like say in Usher's burn video playing his partner as opposed to snoop dogg's h0e or something .

who cares, how exactly would that benefit black women? you need to be placed in a video before you feel proud of yourself?

if not giving a shiiit about whether a blue woman is the love interest in a music video makes me dumb, then so be it.

No matter how you try to douse it, the black women crying to be seen in these videos are nothing but insecure. The most annoying thing is the thought that people would think it's all black women that care about such pettiness. Why do they need few meagre seconds as video girls to realize you are already worthy the way you are? Upon all the strong, independent black cliches I hear, this is what the black woman wants to relegate herself to, fighting to be told she's beautiful by black men. Shame!!!
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chiogo(f): 3:13am On Mar 26, 2010
^^ lol don't mind them.

The explanation was even funnier. Like seriously, who cares? Love interest. Make them carry go jare grin

I actually see black women who say they aspire to be in rap videos and of course, not as rappers. I'm thinking, "Umm, slavery is over, this one na self-slavery", Kai!

In a few years we'll see feminists campaigning the steady decline in the number of black prostitutes in Soho.
How dare they take our jobs and give to Polish girls??
That's racial discrimination grin grin grin

Taio Cruz is a STAGE NAME people! Just like Freddy Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara), Elton John (Reginald Kenneth Dwight) and George Michael (Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou). Just because he changed his name it doesn't automatically mean he is trying to be something else.
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by pheonixChi(f): 9:32pm On Apr 24, 2010
Taio Cruz lol omg this guy kills me, he is very insecure i think he does not indentify with Nigeria at all neither does he identify as black he is a strange one lol. Well his preference is his preference, if he wants only white girls in his vids , fine. I tell you wat really annoyed me, it's the fact that whne i went to see Boyz2men in Hammersmith he was the opening act  and i didn't feel him at all the only ppl screaming in the crowd were white girls lol. Which is fine because me and my girlfriends did not identify with him , just like he did not identify with black culture.  grin

lol Brits will tell you that this guy is pretty thick,and it is seen in many black or african circles that he tries to identify with whites, i dont think thousands of ppl are imagining it. A black magazine did a feature about this same issue and many ppl believe he tries very hard to appeal to white audiences
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Plumber(m): 11:52am On Apr 28, 2010
Taio Cruz is Nigerian

Real Name is >>>>>> Tayo Onile-Ere

His father is Nigerian and Mother is Brazilian

Taio came by because the oyinbo folks never quite knew how to pronounce his name.
From there he adopted the Taio as his name and chose his mother (Brazilian) maiden name which was **Vera-Cruz**

Hence Taio Cruz was born.
He is Nigerian @ heart and Speaks yoruba a bit, has plans to come to Nigeria in future!
