Jidenna's open letter of apology to Nigerians on recent comments he made
The "I'm a Classic Man" crooner recently made a statement on VLAD TV about during the time of his fathers burial 5yrs ago his family had to hire commandos and carry lots oh AK 47 to use as protection from kidnapping and that light skinned people where especially kidnapped in Nigeria. This resulted in a lot of backlash on twitter from a lot of Nigerians. Jidenna released an open letter of apology to his fellow Nigerian brothers and sisters to clarify earlier statement,
"In the recent interview to which I’ve been referring, I shared my family’s experience traveling from the States back home for the burial. In this interview, I used the term “light-skinned.” When using this term, I was actually referring to my immediate family’s mixed or biracial appearance. See, no matter what language I use to describe my heritage, I’m certain that someone will feel some kind of way."
