On Friday afternoon, Johnson Smith took to Instagram to set the record straight: “I’ve seen these new graphics making rounds, but I’m puzzled by their calculations. My father is from Kingston, my mother from Trelawny, and I was born in Kingston. I am unequivocally 100 per cent Jamaican.”
She added, “No matter how they twist the facts, Markie British remains British—that’s his own claim, not mine. Please, keep me out of this narrative.”
