Ian-Devon Lewis i think so. Where hip hop is right now is tragic and Jidenna offers something different to it that can change the direction. Whether he will or not is questionable 'cause plenty of afrobeats and African artists have attempted to and failed but he has the backing to do so. Hip hop is already dipping and dabbing into afrobeats/ dancehall/ raggae e.t.c. Yes he might not ever achieve huge influence over hip hop (which I hope he does) but he is definitely bringing something different.

I like this dude Jidenna a lot. I like that he doesn't commercialize his Nigerian culture for profit. He makes great music with a message. A lot of African American artists that tried to take this lane were shelved. He reminds me a lot of Common. African Americans have our own proud culture. The whole African diaspora needs to keep contributing to the overall revitalization of the African world. Great things ahead.

I'm west Indian (Grenadian and Jamaican). I've recently began researching my West African heritage. Come to find out, my fathers side (Jamaican) is Nigerian (yoruba). My mother is of east Indian and Nigerian/Ghanaian descent as well. My mother, grandmothers, and Great aunts have been watching Nigerian movies for as long as i could remember. The west African culture can be seen in the West Indies till this day. I can't wait to research more, and complete my ancestry. Loved this interview

This was an extremely refreshing conversation. It is conversations like these that motivate change. Jidenna is not only a true ambassador of the African Diaspora, he represents the essence of humanity.

I'm a 44 year old "White" South African Entertainer, I'm so sick of everybody still looking at color. Listen to the man and the music. Jidenna, you rule! Just finished "Luke Cage" and I keep on going back to episode 05. Long live the chief!

He will be one of the greats. Everything about him is just so great. From his pride to his ethics, Jidenna is fantastic.

He's handsome and intelligent

This was a great, insightful interview. Lots of deep, timely subjects were discussed. Thank you, I appreciate intelligent conversations.

Jidenna is BEAUTIFUL.

Jidenna a classic Nigerian man,always repping his culture.The difference is obvious a class above the rest.Igbo kwenu.

This was a great interview!!

The problem is the lack of empathy runs DEEP. This goes back to of course the Willi lynch/king Leopold/ Eugenics days.. We were so dehumanized, and mentally enslaved, that even we can't embrace our heritage. Despite Africa having a deep history of 200,000 years. Despite Africa having incredible civilizations,(95% of which were not even in Kemet), that set records; Mali Empire -worlds richest man, Great Benin Empires city walls and moats are the largest single man made structure ever. We need to embrace and connect that will automatically empower us.

I would love to embrace my fellow Africans from The Berbers of the Sahara, The Hausa, The Fulani, The Ethiopians, and even the North Africans. My problem with identifying with my people (this is not a black people problem its a people problem) is the things I see in a place like Chicago. If no one will have the mental capacity of having a higher standard of living how can I be proud of that? I am proud of the ancestors who beat slavery, proud of the ancient dogon, proud of the ancient mali empire, proud of the ancient abysinians, proud of the ancient egyptians, and proud of the ancient nubians. The modern africans I see today are divided. Is it by design? yes. Still those pyramid builders, those astronomers, and those shamans still live in us. I am tired of seeing what is on world star, tired of my people trying to live to european standards, and I am tired of repeating a cycle of failure. I don't feel similar to many people on this earth that are not my friends because those are the people like me. I only wish my ethnic group would wake up and stop fighting each other like clowns.

Dogon, ancient Mali empire, abysnnians, Egyptians and Nubians were all divided ethnic groups... and of all the modern African groups you only listed all the light skinned groups (Ethiopians, Fulani, Hausa, Berbers) that are light skinned because they were involved with Arabs and slavery. And the reason "Africans" are so divided is because the ethnic group governments that resemble what you see in ancient times are in conflict with modern government that the colonials installed. The traditional governments have not united to run modern states. So Africans literally have 2-3 governments - traditional ancient Egyptian style governments with chiefs (nysuts/pharoahs/neters). Then you have the western state government. Then you toss in the religious governments influence of caliphates and the Vatican. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Mali

China invested $60 billion in 3 years, I have been seeing China has been investing to the ' third world countries' but have so many abandon infrastructure and cities. In a recent video, I saw Chinese citizens are unable to pay back their government as they invest in these places and lose out putting them in debt. In the Caribbean, they have built roads and other buildings but are the government looking at the long term effects on their countries. The future mariner in Jamaica owned by China is in a protected environmental area if im not mistaken. How it will affect the region or Africa Economy if its owned by outside forces, which it is now. Feel free to correct me

The governments of these countries, especially in the Caribbean, have to do a better job of structuring these deals. They need to be responsible for where the construction takes place, what the environmental impact is, who is doing the building (usually Chinese workers and not locals), what the economic impact is, etc. etc. Far too often they just agree to sell everything out.

okuomose okuns That's true. However, it's not that simple. Quite often, Western powers make sure they have who they want as leaders. In return, leaders get paid, assurance, etc... for the corruption. The good African leaders often get killed as you should know. It's going to take all of Africa to take a stand and say NO to foreign influence in order to stop this. However, we're not even unified. I'm still hopeful though. This issue is not so straightforward when the powers that be are calling the shots...
