Godfrey always calling himself Nigerian, but he's actually African American born in Nebraska. His parents are Nigerian
Godfrey got caught

as the Internet never forgets, he seemed to have reformed his ideas a bit. Maybe not. At least he is being somewhat honest on Shay's podcast.
He is Nigerian though. The term African American only fits Africans from abroad, and even those born in the US (who are American), when that term benefits them for economic value, collegiate or corporate access. Culturally they stick to what are ancestrally connected too, as they should.
For the most part they are NOT trying to integrate culturally and economically with the interests of the descendants of chattel slavery in this country. Negro, Black, African American people, pick a name, your choice, y'all known what the fuck it is.
That's not to absolve Black people of not being on our own fuck shit towards the diaspora with our "jokes", violence and lack of personal responsibility sometimes. We need to travel with an open mind, and also understand that the forces of oppression for generations, attacked from all fronts, with different weapons, resulting in different outcomes, that have led to the ongoing distrust.
Godfrey is of course American, but we all ain't in the same fight till we agree to equally share success, share dollars and share in the struggle against oppression against all Black people.
