Classic Man Jidenna Talks Colorism, Living As Your True Self And The Use Of The N-Word (Video) – blogged by @niksofly

The words “polished” and “articulate” can easily be used to describe the classic man himself, Jidenna. The Wisconsin native recently sat down with VLAD TV where he weighed in on Caitlyn Jenner as well as the problems colorism causes. What is not so classic is that even in his time of mourning, Jidenna had to beef up security to lay his father to rest in Nigeria. He may have ruffled a few feathers as social media seemed to want him to paint a picture different than his experiences in Nigeria. When asked about the use of the N-word, Jidenna candidly states that “You can say the n-word, of course, anyone can say anything. But you might get your a** whooped” and reiterates that based on his perspective “it’s not a term of endearment from whites”.
