Was a friend of his growing up and said one day he'll be champ. Its about to happen and nobody deserves it more. Nothing but the best for Aljo. He deserves it and more.

It's easier for kids to 'lose' their accent when they move to a new country, much harder for adults which explains the difference we see between Aljo & his mom so i dont see what the big debate is all about here this is just logic lol youtube ppl will fight over anything, yes there are instances where adults change their accents to better fit in e.g Trevor Noah, been in the U.S for 2 minutes but already throwing away his south african accent, comes with the territory i guess.
@mangincmaki92 4 жыл бұрын
@@msizinkosi3481 you mean difference between Aljo and his mams is, he born and bred American. She from Jamaica. He never had the accent to begin with. That's basically like half the black population in NY, probably 40-50% of blacks in NY of Jamaican heritage.
