Re: Any1 believe he is Jamaican?
The accent is a Spanish accent (from Madrid, specifically). But he doesn't speak it like it's a first language. Most likely from English-speaking island in the west Indies i.e. JA or Barbados.Comment

Re: Any1 believe he is Jamaican?
I dont know who he is and where he is from but his spanish accent is not that authentic
his sentences certainly don't flow into each other like someone who grew up speaking the languageComment

Re: Any1 believe he is Jamaican?
Don't have time to watch the entire video. His parents could be hispanic expats living in Jamaica. He may have been born in Jamaica, identifies with the culture and considers himself Jamaican.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

For sure there is no accent there that is Jamaican. Heard Jamaican's pronounce in other languages (Italian, Swedish, etc), there is a distinction in the pronounciation of the vowels , and he is NOT there with it. If he is at an age where he can remember his time back in Jamaica, and has connection with his family there (as you guys suggest), then the vowel pronounciation would be inflected in his speech when he is trying in English (for example when he says "Jamaica", or "I'm the one" I don't hear it.
If he hasn't got the family connection - how did he get where he's at...?
Also, if you've been in UK and around some parts of Europe, there are many who do try to throw a J'can accent, pretenders, personally and for my sisters &bro's, I can tell from a mile off.
Othert than that, don't see this is worth wasting anymore of my time on.Comment

Whether he was born in Jamaica or not, he definetely has Jamaican connections in some manner; it may even be psychological.
~ Some of us may not know it, but because of our "high profile" due to Bob Marley, his music and other artists as well, we are on the radar... Now comes Usain Bolt with his athletic prowess, many are drawn to us and want to identify with us. It is especially so, within the third world societies...
