He wanted to express his African heritage?
He is not in Africa or Ghana. He was born here in the USA. What African heritage is he talking about? He has never stepped foot outside of California.
The guy is just a poser, pretending to be the Black Panther prince of Wakanda.
I spent a good part of my time in Africa as an armed spreader of Western Values (guess what that means). We dealt with many tribes. I once asked a young lady here in the states if she was an Ethiopian or a Nairobian. She said how “Can you tell?” I merely said you have the attributes of one or the other. We became good friends as I explained the physical attributes of different Africans. I also know if a person is Chinese, Phillipino, VNese or Thai.
Kente cloth comes from a small region, Ashantiland in Ghana, as you have indicated. Yet African-Americans routinely cry about not knowing their heritage due to slavery. Ethnic groups in Africa number in the thousands. What are the chances he knows he is Ashanti? Oprah claimed she was Zulu (southern continent) until Henry Louis Gates pointed out that she was off by maybe three thousand miles (her ancestors were mainly Kpelle, western Africa in what’s now Liberia, and Bamileke, Cameroon, also on the Western coast, where most of the slave trading took place.
