Part 1: Vlad Apologizes to Tariq Nasheed for Comments About FBAs, Willie D Joins In on FBA Lineage

Tariq Nasheed clarified why rapper Drake is not considered a Foundational Black American (FBA), despite his father holding that status. Nasheed emphasized that being FBA is not just about lineage but also tied deeply to blood and land — meaning cultural upbringing and historical connection to specific American Black communities. Drake, born and raised in Canada with a Jewish mother and upbringing, experienced a different culture, distancing him from the unique history foundational to Black Americans.
