A THREAD:

So there’s this weird ass white man in Indianapolis who’s obsessed with replicating African culture. Please look at this shit yo https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Meet Josiah Sprinkle, AKA “Oluwa Sprinkle”. Yes he’s a regular ass white boy... and no, he’s never even been to the continent of Africa.

The first red flag I saw was this... if you’ve never been to the continent... why are you sporting the Nigerian flag? Odd https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

I just feel like there’s a difference between appreciating a culture and being flat out weird. Why are you faking the accent, putting the flag in your bio, and so on? Who does that? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Should I continue the thread? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

His Instagram page is dedicated to 3 things.

1. Posing up with Africans like they’re some type of museum exhibit https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏿‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face">

2. Very cringeworthy attempts at trying to Zanku... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

3. Trying to master Yoruba https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

Finally... the real issue here:

Meet his manager. Yes, MANAGER. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> What is Mr. Sprinkle’s talent? Are you telling me he’s getting COINS for appropriating the culture? I— I can’t. LMAOOOO

NIGERIANS: Are you okay with a white man’s Internet personality being dedicated to copying your culture?
