In a video she posted on Instagram, R&B singer K. Michelle wanted to show she could speak “Nigerian” but ended up sounding ridiculous and not funny at all.
Oooops, it looks – and sounds – like K. Michelle made a huge mistake ! Yesterday the singer posted a video in which she said she was speaking “Nigerian”. But lemme tell you something, Kay: “Nigerian” isn’t a language, as Nigeria has tons of living languages with different names…
In the video, you can hear her talk about what she’s eating – great, K., but your “Nigerian accent” is kind of awkward, and everyone can notice it even if they don’t speak the language…
People were very petty in the comments – but at the same time so funny. You can read things like: “I love you k !! But you gotta get it together Nigerian ain’t a language”, “ain’t no Nigerian I heard here”, “sounds Jamaican”, “she sounds like she was auditioning for a Shakespeare play”… Ok, it’s true that she’s overdoing it. She tried to defend herself by writing in the caption: “All you school teachers who nobody loved calm down. Nigerian ISNT a language but it’s Nigerian Pidgin English. Stop talking to me. I promise I’m smarter than you”. FYI, Pidgin is a creole language mixing English and Portuguese and it’s spoken in Nigeria.
K. Michelle kept on giving her show and published two other videos. The last one was VERY embarrassing – it seems like the artist had been rehearsing for hours and now she’s finally reciting her lines. In the caption she even tagged American-Nigerian rapper Wale and used the Nigerian phrase “how far?” (meaning “what’s up?”) before she boasted: “I’m killing it huh?” Well we’re not so sure about it but at least you tried…
