Yes, it's true. He's mixed with filipino. He's mentioned that he's half black half filipino more than once in his songs... but don't ask me what songs.    Even Nas tried to diss him about his Black Album saying he wasn't even all black... which is f**ked up on Nas' part.
Did you guys know Enrique Iglesias is half filipino as well?

From ArtistDirect.com: Born Sean Paul Henriques on January 8, 1973, the multi-ethnic Paul (his parents had Portuguese, Chinese, and Jamaican blood) grew up in St. Andrew, Jamaica. Dancehall DJ Sean Paul began scoring hit singles in Jamaica starting in 1996, and has since attracted American attention with his appearance on the soundtrack of Hype Williams' Belly (with Mr. Vegas and DMX) and his 1999 hit "Hot Gal Today." Paul released his first album on VP Records; the sprawling Stage One.

His mother is Filipina and his father is Spanish. With the November 1999 release of Enrique, his fourth album he became one of pop music's biggest stars. The platinum-certified Enrique spun off his first two #1 pop smashes: "Bailamos," which hit #1 in late summer 1999, and "Be With You", which topped the pop chart in summer 2000 for three weeks and was also #1 on Billboard’s Dance Club chart. As evidence of Iglesias’ worldwide appeal, Enrique has also sold more than three million copies outside the U.S.

Her mother is Chinese and Puerto Rican her father is Black (from an interview with Creative Loafing).  She left home at 16 to pursue her own goals, and four years later Kelis had a deal with Virgin. In mid-1999, Kelis was beatboxing alongside Ol' Dirty Bastard on his cut "Got Your Money" and her signature technicolor spiraled afro was sparking critics' interests. Her brooding vocals blend sensible R&B additives, and the hip-hop layers are funky. Kelis captured feminist desires on her debut Kaleidoscope.

Yes, it's true. He's mixed with filipino. He's mentioned that he's half black half filipino more than once in his songs... but don't ask me what songs.    Even Nas tried to diss him about his Black Album saying he wasn't even all black... which is f**ked up on Nas' part.

What do Chris Judd (ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez), rapper Jay-Z, singer Enrique Iglesias, actor Lou Diamond Phillips, and MTV Real World star Lori (from the second New York City season) have in common? They are all half-Filipino.

Are you retarded or something?
Of course he isn't.

I don't think he is. I'm sure he's pure African American.
