Even defunct Psqaure still slaps Davido and Wizkid subscribers on Twitter. Wizkid own is the worst, with all his noisy FC on twitter and all his hype he can't find any headway outside Africa.
Check his profile on wiki. Both his parent are African American!
Forest Steven Whitaker was born on July 15, 1961, in Longview, Texas, the son of Laura Francis (née Smith), a special education teacher who put herself through college and earned two master's degrees while raising her children, and Forest E. Whitaker Jr., an insurance salesman.
The person that included his name is just a liar. He also included Daniel Lebern Glover as Igbo too LOL!
So because they have English names with their parents too they are not Igbo?? So what do you have to say about TD Jakes?? He's not Igbo too I guess. When will you people stop measuring up with Igbos on everything. Our greatness comes to us naturally while you have to struggle for everything with so much noise and cheap hype.
One was even showing a street named after a Yoruba in USA hehehehehe.. Chai sorry for una sha. Little thing can shack you people.
TD Jakes is not Igbo too. C'mon you guys should not be this slow nao.
You were thinking they were Igbos because African Americans always do ancestral DNA where they all try to identify with an African tribe. That is where the rumor of TD Jakes being Igbo came from.
A little google search about him will show you that he is totally African American. He was born to Ernest and Odith Jakes who were both African American without no linkage to any Igbo.
That was how people were saying chadwick boseman of Black Panther too was Yoruba simply because he said his DNA is Yoruba when he did it.

Shut up your mouth TD Jake's himself said it that he's from Igbo land are you more enlighten than him or you want to tell me there were black in America before slave trade?? You are delusional. I don't care about your blackpanther guy all I care is what a man like T. D Jakes says he is and that's Igbo.
naptu2: 50 collaborations between Nigerian and foreign artistes
5) Mickey Hart ft Babatunde Olatunji, Sikiru Adepoju, Zakir Hussain, T.H. Vinayakram, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Giovanni Hidalgo and Frank Colon – Planet Drum (Grammy Award winning album).
Babatunde Olatunji is one of the greatest musicians to have come out of Africa. He grew up in the village of Ajido, near Badagry. He often snuck out to watch the festivals and masquerades in his village and he was fascinated by the drummers. He learnt how to play the drums from those musicians.
Olatunji read about Rotary International’s scholarship programme in an edition of Reader’s Digest. He applied, was accepted and went to the United States in 1950 to study at Moorehouse College in Atlanta.
Olatunji continued to play music at Moorehouse College and at New York University where he later studied public administration. A record executive from Columbia Records heard Olatunji’s performance with the Radio City Music Hall orchestra and signed him to the record label in 1957.
Babatunde Olatunji released Drums of Passion, his first of 6 albums for Columbia Records, in 1959. The album was a huge success and it got to number 13 on the Billboard Charts. The song Jin-Go-Lo-Ba was particularly very popular and it has been covered by various artists including Carlos Santana (on Santana’s first album), Manu Dibango (featuring King Sunny Ade) and Fatboy Slim.
This album made Olatunji very popular in the United States and he collaborated with many legendary American musicians including John Coltrane, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder and Cannonball Adderley (he was often credited as Michael Olatunji on those collaborations). He was particularly good friends with John Coltrane, who helped him set up the Olatunji Centre for African Culture in New York. Coltrane dedicated a track, Tunji on his 1962 album, Coltrane, to Babatunde Olatunji.
Babatunde Olatunji also appeared on major US network television shows like The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Sikiru Adepoju went to the United States in 1985 in search of Babatunde Olatunji and Orlando Julius. His father had been a popular drummer in Eruwa and he taught his children how to play. Olatunji introduced Sikiru Adepoju to his friends, including Grateful Dead drummer, Mickey Hart.
Musician, musicologist and drummer for the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart had an idea to make an album in which all the best drummers from around the world would feature.
The album featured Mickey Hart (United States), Zakir Hussain and T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram (both from India), Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru Adepoju (from Nigeria), Airto Moreira and his wife Flora Purim (from Brazil) and Giovanni Hidalgo and Frank Colon from Puerto Rico.
Babatunde Olatunji contributed a track, Jewe (You Are The One), to the album and played on all but one of the other tracks.
The album won the first ever Grammy Award in the “World Music Album” category at the 1992 Grammy Award ceremony.
Unfortunately I can’t find a YouTube video of Jewe (You Are The One), but here is a video of (1) Carlos Santana and Mickey Hart talking about Babatunde Olatunji (2) Babatunde Olatunji and Carlos Santana performing Akiwowo, which Olatunji originally recorded in 1959 (the video is from a stage performance while the audio is from the album).

Mugu lol. Look at the real list here not some cooked up Lagos Ibadan under bride news.. A defunct group still holding it down, such an insult to the whole Yoruba race.
When Psqare was Psquare presidents were fighting to have a handshake with them, not these ewedu boys that know only how to make noise and get women pregnant.
9gerian: We don’t need to claim people with ancestry dna that is usually in percentages.
Adeboye and Oyedepo are much more revered in spite of being pure bred Nigerians and Yorubas.
Again, there’s no need jumping all over the place clutching straws.
This thread is about Grammy award winning celebrities mostly being Yorubas! An unparalleled feat in Nigeria.
TD Jakes is not Igbo.
This is where they traced his ancestry to Hausa and Igbo. It is just the usual USA thing where African Americans always want to find one tribe to link themselves to.
Shut up your mouth TD Jake's himself said it that he's from Igbo land are you more enlighten than him or you want to tell me there were black in America before slave trade?? You are delusional. I don't care about your blackpanther guy all I care is what a man like T. D Jakes says he is and that's Igbo.
LOL!
TD jakes traced the ancestry DNA to Hausas and Igbos lol.
It is just the usual thing most African Americans always do. I have most of them here as friends that are always trying to take ancestry DNA test to link them to an African tribe.

@the bold, come again?? Which useless Adeboye and Oyedepo. Where TD Jakes enters globally your Adeboye and Oyedepo will be bounced out, you think its Nigeria where foolishness reigns supreme. You are talking about Grammy so Al those 50 names all have Grammy awards huh?? Yorubas when will you start telling yourselves the truth.

LOL, this one is a joker.
The likes of Oyedepo are richer than TD Jakes and infact they have influence all over the world.
He can't even lace Davido shoes for one year. Radarada!
Shut up I am talking of that list of celebrities. Because they are abroad doesn't mean they are richer than Mark Angel stop fooling around m Your Davido can't even be Psquare's driver till he dies
IamPlato: many of those people you mentioned are not nigerians, many of them will not even wish to be here, some dont like nigeria. because their parents were from nigeria doesnt make them nigerian.
they are foreigners
by the way, now that you showed us that they are nigerians what should we do with it?
will this info change my life or improve my current state or mood?
na god go punish all of una posting foreigners and calling them igbos and yorubas...
In case you actually meant to quote me, I have been posting about Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru Adepoju. Both of them were born and grew up in Nigeria, so how can you say that they are foreigners??
Both of them sing/sang in the Yoruba Language, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??
Both of them play Yoruba drums like Gangan, etc, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??
Both of them were involved in promoting Yoruba culture around the world, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??
This is Akiwowo by Babatunde Olatunji featuring Carlos Santana. How can you tell me that the person that sang this is not Yoruba??

Shut up. Even Dangote is richer than Donald Trump but Trump can order for him to be shot dead and it will be carried out without any form of retribution on him . Stealing church money and having influence are two different things.
