Gesamtkunstwerk Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago I recently found out that he is not half Asian I have multiple people around me who thought the same, I remember people joking that he never aged because he was Black and Asian. I'm pretty sure it used to say on his wikipedia that he was part Asian too I know anyone can edit it, but it's still sort of crazy that incorrect information could be on such a high-profile person for some time. Does anyone know the origin of this information/rumour/myth ? Is it just because people thought he looked mixed Asian and ran with it ? Do some of you have other celeb mandela effects or false memories ?
NEX Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Most black Americans are some kind of mix, so it may be true even if he's not aware of it. Doesn't have to be Asian mix though. Could easily be Native/Latin American mix too because the features are very similar to Asian ones (which makes sense if you are familiar with human migration history map)

It was definitely Pharrell, but I remember people saying Ne-yo was Asian too. I think Ne-yo himself was saying it as well 2 hours ago, Katamari said: ignore the gaslighters bb i remember seeing it too but maybe it was just misinfo on our parts Omg thank you !! I guess it was just a rumour that went rogue because it was such public knowledge in late 2000s - early 2010s, and suddenly it just stopped. I felt so crazy
