- Music Star Jidenna drew pressmen and celebrities to a dinner party that took place in victoria island, Lagos, Nigeria. His visit to Nigeria sparked a huge number of fans to ask him various questions on social media.
I as the Silverbird tv entertainment reporter got invited to the exclusive event and we didn't hesitate to get there on time and fight for an exclusive interview with the music/fashion stars
I sure didn't forget to throw in a question about his roots. which caught major attention
#jidenna #afrobeats
For the people that are questioning his accent in this video...it's real. Being from another country myself and growing up in America, when I'm in my native country or around my native people, my other accent naturally comes out more. He's not faking anything...it's completely natural. It's the same basic thing as speaking in 2 different languages, there are 2 different accents. I don't understand why this is a difficult concept to grasp.
LizC23100 Exactly! I'm from England and when I go back there my accent comes back. And the moment I'm in Canada it disappears.
He's has a bilingual accent just like every african in american but yeah bruh should learn igbo and yoruba real quick LOL
CurlyLocks that's not it I just saw a interview with him for Hot 97 and he does sound differently. I get that if he is speaks different languages then he will sound different. But he is speaking English in both interviews . He don't sound like this in the other video. He is just adapted to his environment. That's all.
Thank you for posting this comment! I switch between accents too, both are real and I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand
LizC23100 my sister...even the reporter s forming a more american accent than the guy but people still hating
He is so fricking gorgeous 😍😍😍
Jess A stop talking about my husband thanks
The classic man is HOT AF
Jess A Omg! 😍😍
Lol
I know. That's why I'm marrying him... 💍💎👰
I so much love the way he respects his root
James Kibirige couldn't agree more
sirkiss kingsley Thank you brother
Bi/Multilingual people understand his change of accent. It happens to me too. And you are unaware until someone brings it up. it's normal.
Mmala Mokone yep. Code-switching, happens naturally
I loooove people who embrace where they are from.
He's a beautiful man
He's a classic man :)
Ebony Travel true woman is beautiful and man is handsome
Ebony Travel easy.... It's a unisex word
You aint lieing
He is distinctively beautiful
His accent coming out and everything! Geesh! 😍😍😍
Donaldson Izekor everyone has an accent. Every damn body.
Donaldson Izekor you can have an accent if you speak your language regularly with parents, friends, in your community, etc.
Donaldson Izekor you don't make sense. I am American. With an American accent. I am using this example so you can get it.
Donaldson Izekor No, you're the one with a little mind. And you're stupid and ignorant generalizing like that because I am, like Jidenna a first generation American. I am from Los Angeles, but I currently live in The Bronx. So try again, dumbass!
Donaldson Izekor Are YOU American? And what makes you think you can determine whether someone is American from a few sentences? Get a life. And do some research so you don't end up looking stupid again.😕
people questioning his accent must not be use to being around or being raised in multiple cultures or places. Accents can come and go based on where you are and who you are with, it's a subconscious thing. I'm a New Yorker with West Indian roots. When I'm away from New York my accent is not as strong and has a slight southern twang, because a lot of my friends in college are from the south. When I'm in New York or talking to a New Yorker my original accent comes out. If I am with my West Indian family or speaking get with other West Indians I have a slight accent. It happens and isn't inauthentic. I see it as my brain adjusting to my environment and the culture I'm interacting with at the time.
This is so true,my accent changes as well....
Couldn't have said it any better
eblots ....well put! Couldn't have put it better. 💯
i thought I was the only one this happens to. in nigeria among nigerians a thicker naija accent comes out. in america i will adjust for better communication. i hate how nigerians think everythink is faking. when youve lived and schooled in different places, there is no how you won't have a mix of all those accents. i like that his naija accent came out sef. if he had been speaking akata, naija people will still say he's forming so abeg
this is so true. it happened to me too
I'm so proud of this guy and I love that he's always wearing African clothes.
I love how he showed the similarities between Africans & African Americans, it shows that we’re more alike than different which is beautiful❤️
There aren't many similarities and we are more different than alike.
@@graveyardkeeper777 You're crazy 🤪
@@graveyardkeeper777genetically and phenotypically we are basically the same but culturally we are different yeah
Nwanne...God bless you, keep doing Igbos and Africans proud..
Correct guy🤛🏿
WOW Amazing, an Igbo man speaks Igbo
lol. Sarcasm?
Certain things are not news worthy bro, I once saw a post showing ushers dick and everybody laughing cause his dick is darker than his body, and I'm like WTF a black man has a black dick, whats so funny.
Daniel Ngongang
So....sarcasm it is then.
I love this!
The Presence ikr lol
he's very down to earth...i love it
I need the accent disputes to stop. I have a Liberian American friend who sounds more American than me when we're in public, but the SECOND she crosses the threshold of her parent's home its like she was from Liberia herself. I even develop an accent when I'm around her family for more than 4 hours...please chill. Mad y'all don't even have an accent to fake if you wanted to...smh just let him be great.
Arsinöe Official what's the big deal anyways
jkklaffs la yor pa nuhbag
Ebony Travel Because alot of people in the US are ignorant and would not support him if they heard his native accent frequently
Southern accents
Thebaa Dosia ??
When you have grown up in different countries, it's normal to have a mixed accent and it's usually not something you think about at the time. It just changes depending on where you are or who you're around. For those ignorant people who think his accent is fake, actually travel somewhere and stop commenting on things you don't have the capacity to understand.
Preach
Hell, even in one country one person can have blended or multiple accents. I don’t understand why this concept is difficult to understand.
*He is indeed a classic mane*.
Kudos to the interviewer. He asked great relevant questions. It's always good to see a good interview on youtube which unfortunately is full of amateurish and borderline star-struck interviewers who always forget their jobs.
Great questions, yeah. I noticed that. But then, his body language and mannerisms whenever Jidenna was responding seemed weird and tacky.
He was trying to be humble as much as he could as he was speaking. It is normal here.
i love when he said Nigerians are confident...most African Americans are very confident. love your music!
Nigeria the most confident black nation on Mother Earth. ... Do your research.
Tamara S. African Americans have no choice but to be confident, given what we've been through we qualify as one of the most if not THE most confident people on the planet.
African American is the one her or his parents are Africans if both your parents were born in America and u were also born in America u ain't a African
Nagerians the disrespectful criminal
@@williamkhumalo5325 American nd Nigeria they are both criminal
I adore his humility. He respects his clan and root deeply and that is charitably stunning.
Jidenna and siblings brought his father's body back to Igboland Nigeria and gave him a befitting cultural funeral. I respect my young brother 💯 God bless you, nwannem ❤️
My roommate back in college is Igbo. She was/is brilliant. I did well in school, but SHE had straight A's in chemistry. She was such a nice girl, too. And she was rich as Croesus and would jet to Paris and London to shop. Her father was in contracting and oil. And she was so beautiful she was voted the most beautiful international student at the University of Houston. The First runner-up was Miss Sweden. And the 2nd runner-up was Miss Japan. My roommate's brother was/is a doctor and her fiance (now husband) is a surgeon.
Allison Wentworth Typical corrupt elites
The typical Nigerian family... You need to have doctors in your home
@@Love25648 Facts man
So what does this have to do with this interview
I'm Igbo
Thanks love
Dialect adaptation (&adaptation of any sort) is an amazing skill to have. These are traits of brilliance, applaudise young man 👏 👏 👏 👏
very cool, he's very proud of his roots.
Words cannot express how proud I am of Jidenna. He is really representing us here in the states.
..I wish him many more success to come.
Wao! Kedu, O di nma. They way he speaks it shows he is the true Son of the Soil. Udo di.
Nigerians are confident!!! 💪
this guy is truly the chief that can't runaway
I love how when you're around your people your accent comes out! My husband's Haitian, born and raised in Brooklyn. he doesn't have a Haitian accent unless he's speaking with his family. I'm southern raised, so as soon as I get around my family it just comes right back with no effort. I have to translate for my husband, lol!!
I wish my university offered Igbo! I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Kpop0223 I can still teach you if you want
My Igbo broda #ProudlyIgbo #NaijaAmerica
I was waiting for Jidenna to mention Davido, their collaboration might be out of this world. Love from South Africa

KD hahaha! That lips
Tatiana 😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣🤣kill me again
Mee too
I relate to this. Im a Nigerian thats been a citizen of England for 13 years now. When im with my people or with family, my Nigerian accent naturally comes out. But out in public, i have a british accent
I can't wait to see what he and Flavor come out with. He should do something with Phyno too.
BBN he will be all dressed up while flavor will be naked
Man I be hating on Nigerians on the downlow 😍you all are dreamers and achievers 😍much respect
He is gorgeous😍😍😍
Very interesting and intelligent man!! He’s handsome as well. ❤️nothing like someone who is proud of where he came from & integrating it into his music. Mad respect.
One of my favorite artists right now.
Omg~ Wish my college offered an Igbo course... Also, so much respect for this guy

He's even more evolved today2020
What a beautiful soul✨
Gorgeous AF
I love how Jidenna acknowledges us African Americans.
I love how his accent changes, its beautiful when he taps into his Nigerian accent.
My accent changes all the time, some people say I have a British accent and some say I have a mixture with Tanzanian. All I know is, when I am with my family, the accent I was born into is stronger coz I go into Swahili. I love both accents but if I was to pick one, I would pick my Tanzanian half, I just love it. Always be proud of your origin.
Aw I thought he was fluent! I enjoy this guy and his music, even bought his album.
The interviewer was so on point. Good one, bro.
I experience a change in my accent when I go from NC to my own state. It's real.
I love what he is doing. I am glad he is who he is
Hello Linda, how are you doing?
This dude is legit
His accent is so clear, I love it!!! Who is this learner interviewer, speaking more Fune than jidenna sef... gerriarihia
Quiet your mouth, the learner Na you.
Nice One Jidenna my Brother God bless you Please join IPOB Biafran Freedom Biafran Freedom Biafran Freedom Biafran Freedom Biafran Freedom Biafran Freedom Biafran Freedom
People who are of other cultures tend to be more accented when around their own kind. it's not a farce. Yaaaaaaay, Jidenna!!
He mostly grew up in America, raised by his white mother and his father wasn't really in his life. So, his accent IS fake.
Of course he's African...I love the way he's embracing his roots. Hes really cool😊
He's half white.
he respects his root I salute him for that I love you man
Nigerian music is off the chain
The men are hott
Thx for letting me remember my roots and just because your in a different country doesn't mean you can't keep your original country's roots
He's so humbled.....love the accent...💖💞💖💞
Wow he's handsome.
Never knew he was Nigerian. Ayeee!! 🇳🇬
He is so handsome
Lov u jidenna

Most AA are igbos especially from Virginia check about the igbo landing
No, most black people are not igbo.
I love Nigerian music, Naija beats the whole way
Respect Jidena!
Jidenna Classic man 😀😘
Such a beautiful man! 😍😍😍
love Jidenna
good good
We hausa Nigeria love him too... Regardless of political issues in our country... But the only people that hate this handsome Nigerian guy is Yuroba people. Why Yuroba hate igbo's with passion and yet igbo people developed all their cities and state in Nigeria.
yoruba's don't hate igbos. what made you think that?
Pretty as helllll
Speaks Igbo at 2:51
I like this interview
Naija to the world
The presenter should quit forming American accent.
thats not american accent dumb ass
Lord pikkasso catch the L
+Grizzlyx9 So which?
And Jidenna should stop having an accent too, he doesnt in other interviews
Lord pikkasso lol...he's forming British accent not American
Love this guy
Our own JIDENNA ❤️ ❤️
too humble. #KS2
My brother. Claiming all of us and tying us back together.
Na wa. Such a fun person to chat with. I'd love to interview him
Great interview from awesome artist",!!!
I love him
hearing code switching from mixed ppl is so weird sometimes. When he's in nigeria, around other nigerians, he slips into an accent the more he talks, but he always enunciates and speaks proper in front of american interviewers. the subtleties of cross-culture language, man.
Ebony Travel how is it being fake?? Its adapting to your surroundings. I’m from The Bahamas and speak bahamian creole english. I HAVE to code switch most of the times just so people can understand what I’m saying. Other times, I be talking to people and my dialect comes out without even realizing it. When I’m around people who have similar cultures like other hispanics or west indians, my creole comes out even more. Thats not being fake at all.
Ebony Travel Nope. This is everyday life for multilingual people as well as people who have experienced more than one culture. My spoken English may not be connected to a specific area(except maybe Australia a little bit), but my Swedish and Finnish definitely change depending on where I am and who I'm talking to. It's not something you're conscious of. It just happens.
Jay Pratt I agree. I'm fully Nigerian but I school in Europe. I came speaking with my regular accent but I'd often been told to repeat myself so now I have to make sure U enunciate properly when I talk to non Nigerians
