I’m half-Nigerian, not Jamaican — British singer Kwn

British singer and rapper Khyra Wilson, widely known as Kwn, has recently corrected the misconception that she is of Jamaican descent. During an appearance on the Culture podcast, the 'Worst Behaviour' artist explained her true heritage, stating that she is half-Nigerian. This revelation dispels the common assumption that Kwn is Jamaican, a notion driven by the Caribbean cultural influences evident in her music and upbringing.

Wilson revealed that her father is Nigerian, while her mother is Irish. Although she has never visited Nigeria, Kwn expressed optimism about her future visit, predicting a warm welcome from the people. She humorously noted that her nationality has often been a point of confusion, with many assuming she is Jamaican due to her musical style and cultural background. This misconception has persisted despite the fact that no one has correctly guessed her Nigerian heritage until recently.

In summary, Kwn is half-Nigerian and not Jamaican, a clarification that sets the record straight about her identity and origins.
