That’s a cultural thing specific to them. Everyone’s native dialect has a specific tempo, resonance, etc. Physicality has a dialect too, whether generally or regionally just like pronunciations, or slang, etc. The way someone carries themselves from Germany is going to be completely different than how someone will carry themselves if they were from Italy. So no, he has just as much charisma. You’re just intellectually prescribing that vocal variance and (for him) accent to equal up to “a lot more charisma”. But now you know!
well then he should just do that because hes boring asf when he talks normally, look at savage if he didnt do his accent hed sound normal@@sagefloydactor
As soon as he used his accent, I believed he was a different person lol. Kofi is so talented and still has a lot of gas in the tank. Truly hope wwe can give him another mainevent push.
@@EpicAndrew97I think the only reason he doesn’t use it anymore is because he’s apart of New Day. I feel like once The New Day ends he’ll return to it.
As a Jamaican Noo that's not how we speak 😂😂😂 kofi We Jamaicans do love our Ghanaian people we have a close relationships just to confirm it ❤❤ one love
Man I don’t care what nobody says that dude has to have some Jamaican blood in him as soon as I here that accent nothing but love, respect and wish more success to one of my idols keep pushing kofi 🇬🇭🇯🇲🤞🏾☝🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾😌💫❤️💯
@@kenroyforrester156its still close for someone that isn't even Jamaican. Have you seen when the former mayor of Toronto was trying to chat patois in a restaurant? It was hilarious, he was close as well.
This makes me want a Kofi Kingston Showcase Mode in 2K! It would be so great, and with Bryan Danielson not in AEW anymore, we could see the KofiMania story, too!
For some reason I never questioned Santino’s accent… until he got insta-eliminated and out came the least-accented ever “I wasn’t ready! I wasn’t ready!” 😅
😂 thats great. I love Kofi he is so entertaining. All of New Day is. UpUpDownDown is one of my favorite channels to watch and it was great for them because it gave them more of a chance to connect with their fans while also showing a different side to the other wrestlers as well.
As much as I love the new day, I wish he did his older entrance for wrestlemania 35. That was the guy who was supposed to have won the world title 10 years earlier
I feel like the sudden change hurt his potential. Even if he wasn't really Jamaican, he was still one of the most entertaining characters and one of my favorite wrestlers at the time.
Dude should have a storyline him hitting his head backstage then popping up in his sos classic entrance and cut a Jamaican accent promo after the match with Xavier being like wtf, can drop a little rtruth vibes here and there no need for everyone in the roster to be like tough guy gimmick and we need some funny and half serious storylines to put variety to the product and integrate the mid lower card in the talk
#KofiKingston . Keep your culture. Keep your accent. Holay! Waitaminnit. I sezed to him I sezed this guy over here, waddya know, tellin meigotta talk fancy now!
What's crazy is he had to speak in a Jamaican accent even though he was introduced as being from Ghana, West Africa every time the ladies introduced him😂
Not gonna lie, at first I thought Kofi Kingston wouldn't last 5 years at WWE. Glad to see mw proven wrong, also glad to see him ditching being a fake Jamaican.
Kofi lived in the US since he was like 8 Vince and WWE shouldn't be giving foreign people accents when they speak English like a native speaker. especially Kofi since English is an official language in Ghana
As a Jamaican it baffles me that so many people choose to hire someone to do a terrible ja'fakin accent when they could simply hire, I don't know, maybe a REAL Jamaican actor. Sheesh. LOL

Love It CVVCLIPS Bro.
Kofi is not bomboclaaat jamaican😂😂😂😂
He doesnt even sound like us😂
Love when he became his jamaican gimmick again for the time machine segment
“2009 was my best year!” 😂
Ehh it was probably one of the top 5 worst segments of all time though 😅
Can I have a link to watch that segment. I want to laugh again LOL

"Aren't you supposed to be Jamaican? What happened to your accent?"
Paul?
He was Ja-Fakin, but he stayed in the lane.
Have you met my aunt Miss Cleo?
He should have replied with "and aren't you supposed to be french?"
Shit became Canon
Kofi is one of the most charismatic and entertaining people I've ever seen, he was born for this. Bless him.
Him and Asuka
@@Mope333 Oh absolutely, Asuka is amazing! When it comes to female talent, she is in a league of her own.
Ummm Stone Cold?
@@rosequartz2290 They said "One of"
He actually has alot moee charisma when he speaks with the accent

“Anytime me come back to the island me know, you know.” 😂😂😆😆🤣
Boom! Boom!
Was just waiting for the BOOOOMBACLAAATTT😂😂😂
🎶 SOS, I hear them Shelton...
🎶 SOS, I hear them Bryan...
🎶 Jeff Hardy?
Bro i thought i was the only one who sang those lyrics 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMFAO!!!!
I always heard sos better than Shelton but now I can’t unhear the Bryan and Jeff Hardy parts 😂😂
😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽

Single competitor Kofi was one of my favourite in the roster. I would love to see him back again with his old gear and old theme song and old vibes
Oh my god, indeed !
Kofi needs to bring back his old theme!
I missed his old theme song tbh
I know right
That’s his theme in my head canon
@@EpicAndrew97I think the only reason he doesn’t use it anymore is because he’s apart of New Day. I feel like once The New Day ends he’ll return to it.
indeed man!, i really miss it
Kofi, Santino and Lana all had perfect accents and Santino is the only one that managed to keep his character with an accent till his wwe run ended.
And he's still doing it in tna
@@vincemartenssurprised he owns the character but is actually Canadian 😂 he talks about it in Chris's podcast
Kofi's accent was crap. Don't ever disrespect my culture like that .

@@reggiestockton8166not even close. lol that patois is so dam fake. We don’t sound like dat
He broke my heart when I found out he wasn’t Jamaican.
True
I Kinda Miss Kofi Old Theme Song. (First)
SOS!
Looks like.. there is trouble.. in paradise
I hear them shoutin....
Oh yeah, that SOS theme song was great.
Reminds me of this ruclips.net/video/b1Ua09nNbCc/видео.htmlsi=vvNxg0WCORGmun00
That gimmick needs to be reborn. Bring it back. I love it.
It looks like theres trouble...in paradise
Love your Royal Rumble interviews Chris!
Dude passed Jamaica and went to the Trinidadian accent.

My favorite wrestler!
One of my favorite superstar KOFI 🔥
SOS! Ah eatin' Shelton!
SOS! Ah eatin' Bryan!
Fact that he been this kofi longer than Jamaican kofi
😅That interview is so funny because I got him off guard at a picture signing with the Boom clap pose. 😂 It was hilarious. This past Saturday I. Tampa.
Old Kofi Must Return 😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢I Really Miss Kofi As Individual And His Entrence Theme SOS 😢😢😢😢Was Best
I did love his entrance it was fire SOS!
They should have a storyline where he gets a head injury and slips back to the old Kofi.
When kofi get mad cutting a promo the Jamaican accent can be used .. that would’ve made the wwe championship run even cooler I guess
I miss that Kofi. PLUS that sos theme is amazing!
Brad Pitt ass accent lol
Exactly
Mr 24/7 is a treasure. His trash talk is criminally underrated
I love kofi...beautiful guy
It’s a 7/10 from an actual Jamaican
Jeff Hardy. You woke up with Batman, Priya and Cena🎶
I miss the old Kofi Kingston entrance music
Kofi is top notch man!!!
Every time I see the thumbnail: "Yeah you can Kofi! You're always champion material!"
Noticing the word "it" at a second glance: "oh. well okay."
Winchester, MA represent!!!
Cool guy never had anything bad to say about him entertaining as fuck to boot
As much as I love the new day, I wish he did his older entrance for wrestlemania 35. That was the guy who was supposed to have won the world title 10 years earlier

😢😢😢😢kofi must become our world champion again
"Hardship of having to be in character all the time." *laughs in territory days*
We need a Jamaican heel kofi! 😂
As a half Jamaican i actually thought he was Jamaican growing up 😂
Looks like there's trouble... In paradise.

18 years old me when I found out Kofi isn't Jamaican: "I've been tricked, I've been backstabbed, and I've been quite possibly, bamboozled."
hoodwinked!
Imagine broken Matt attacks Kofi, puts him in the lake of reincarnation and Jamaican Kofi returns😂😂😂😂
I miss old school Kofi that was a very fun gimmick to watch everyone lived him
I remember on the new day podcast he said he’ll bring it back if he goes full heel and calls him self big money Kofi.
Love kofi and The NEWWW DAYYY!!!
#KofiKingston . Keep your culture. Keep your accent. Holay! Waitaminnit. I sezed to him I sezed this guy over here, waddya know, tellin meigotta talk fancy now!
I miss SOS Kofi.
He really had that Jamaican thing going on
If there's ever a Cool Runnings reboot.....
I want him to be in the new Pirates Caribbean with the accent
Italian and Jamaican lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
He became a whole different person😭
when I was a kid, I thought he was really Jamaican, and was related to Sean
He just not aging
He should bring this back. The New Day has run its course. I'm tired of it.
He spoke like Jamis from Dune at the end
I'm proud to be a Jamaican 🇯🇲
Kofi looks like a mix between jidion and ksi
Just bring that theme song back
Would be funny if he went heel and said it was WWE who forced him to get rid of his “real” accent 😂😂
I don't think he spent a lot of time here in Jamaica to get the accent right 😂 that's not how we speak lol😂😂😂
Kofi has to come out with SOS crowd would tweak out. If he goes solo since new day having trouble now.
What's crazy is he had to speak in a Jamaican accent even though he was introduced as being from Ghana, West Africa every time the ladies introduced him😂
That's not how we talk. "An yuh nuh sound good"
he from ghana i thought 😂😂😂
In all fairness Triple H used to speak in a french accent
He sounds like a typical New York Jamaican 💀
Jamaican Kingston , Nigerian Apollo Crews needs to make a faction
I'm Jamaican and I'll say Kofi does a pretty decent Jamaican accent.
Lmao nooo
You know, what me say
SOS, they hear me shoutin'
I hear them cryin'
Because.
Actually would be cool if they brought that gimmick back it was cool I legit thought he was Jamaican
Nobody in Jamaica speaks like that 😂😂😂😂
he forgot to say bomboclaut
A good vocal attitude helps with dialogue.
Punk brought that thing and hype back to life 😌
Nah I'm Jamaican he's lost it he sounds like an American trying to do the accent
Kofi is probably the most successful black wrestler ever even surpassing Booker T the mans charisma and ability to stay relevant is incredible
I forgot about that he had the Jamaican accent but I do remember thinking I thought he was from the Caribbean but his info says he’s from Africa 😂
I love his accent though.
For someone who doesn't know Jamaica Patois he's not doing that bad
He got a bobsled team!
Not gonna lie, at first I thought Kofi Kingston wouldn't last 5 years at WWE. Glad to see mw proven wrong, also glad to see him ditching being a fake Jamaican.
As a jamaican...i can say he doesnt sound jamaican
Kofi lived in the US since he was like 8 Vince and WWE shouldn't be giving foreign people accents when they speak English like a native speaker. especially Kofi since English is an official language in Ghana
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
Why is this ok but the goat Chet Hanks can’t get irie
As a Jamaican it baffles me that so many people choose to hire someone to do a terrible ja'fakin accent when they could simply hire, I don't know, maybe a REAL Jamaican actor. Sheesh. LOL
The ilan is on tap 🇯🇲. Anywhere any place.
