- In an article on BBC.co.uk it has been revealed that Kofi Kingston is not really from Jamaican. It was initially stated that Kingston was from Jamaica and move to the US when he was a child, but it turns out he is actually from the African nation Ghana.
“I was actually born in Jamaica - to be honest with a name like Kofi a lot of people assume I was born in Ghana,” he says with a bad Jamaican accent, but doing his best to stay in character.
But though he denies it, his mother Elizabeth - the head of a Ghanaian-American organization in the US - confirms that he was indeed born in Ghana, and not in Jamaica. The family only moved to the US in 1982.
“I told him: ‘Kofi, your cousins watch you on TV in Ghana and want to know why you don’t say you’re from Ghana,’” she says.
“He said: ‘Tell them it is business.’”
