In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West, the well-known American rapper, has ignited a firestorm online with a recent video claim about his family’s heritage.

The video, currently circulating widely on social media, features West stating that his family lineage is not African American, as many have assumed, but rather Indian.

“There seems to be a misconception,” West says in the video. “We are not Black. How about that? We are not Black! We are Indian.”

The rapper’s comments have left fans baffled, with some expressing confusion and others offering hesitant support for the possibility.

There is no official confirmation regarding West’s ancestry, and his family history has not been publicly documented as having Indian roots.
