[Fraudsteralert]

ake note that NABTRY PRODUCTIONS in cohort with AWILLO LONGOMBA and LAMIC ENTERTAINMENT are a fraud! I'm fighting them to recover a deposit of $4150 paid to them for Awillo Longomba to perform at my birthday on july 23rd, 2011. They've disappeared into thin air and are not taking calls. Avoid doing any business with them It's people like this that give Africans doing business in the US a bad name. AWILLO IS A FRAUD GOING TO CNN WITH MY STORY!

[omoibile]

@Fraudsteralert : are you sure awilo is aware of your booking? Did you go through the right channel. I mean theough his promoters ? I can't believe your story I'm sorry!

[thetoughboys]

nice song

[ru21babie]

hey josepine baker is BLACK! get ur facts rights

[girlymel]

wow can't believe u guys all misconceive JskelentonKey. This is obviously a sign of cultural clashes you'll really need to brush up on the cultural etiquette of the westerners you will then understand what he meant by his original comment. You guys ought to be ashamed of yourself especially since Africans considered themselves well-rounded culturally.

[crowdog56]

Politics aside, I dig the hell outta this!

[johvick38]

u wasnt calling them monkey??? hell you,that exactly how you stupid negro from america behave.and let me tell you something we do not have and dont know that kind of language here in africa,but you blacks in america do have,do u think white or else likes you there? you best know that GOD is not stupid,he took someone directly from africa to be ur president.think abt it.

[JSkelentonKey]

omg!!!u people r crazy,lmao!!! i was talking about stereotypes, damnit i wasnt saying i call black people monkeys!!!i said because of such stereotypes its ironic to see my people dancing around in bannannas. yea i know monkeys eat other foods! stereotypes r biased like that.

[JSkelentonKey]

and hell no! white people just tolerate us. they brung us the fuck over here, lol. this aint there land no ways. they have a history of stealing.white people r just punks they r scared of all the races. white people scare me anyways. especially the pure ones (blue eyes,blonde hair). but if u think about it everyone is either prejudice or just rascist -_O. no one is " i love everybody".

[adewise1]

hey guys i am looking for this awilo song that has something like "monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, aye wooo.... monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday friday...." i been looking since.. anyone who knows it please reply

[MaryamaAmina]

ahhh beg jo this is an african video, no further thought was put into the banana costume. they are all having fun. there is no need for debating in here. if you want to debate about apes and stuff you go do that with your biology teachers. this song brings back memories of my youth in nigeria. and lets just enjoy this song please..

[JSkelentonKey]

u r a smart person. like really if i was critizing them would i bother to defend myself? no i would keep calling them fucking monkeys! i dont think anyone read my fisrt comment and where i got the jungle fever from besides spongyb.

[MaryamaAmina]

i didn't target anyone about my comment i just see this going back and forth arguing on youtube is so 2000 and lame lol. but you have made your point you were being funny so everyone lay this person off and lets be simple not complex

[muona3]

I remember  good times in Ivory coast I wat to go back!!! nice song

[Fattaman]

[Afrodiva100]

Awilo is sexy, pple!

[Totalmachine09]

Awilo Longomba went to zimbabwe and they made him leave cuz apparantly his visa had expired and he had'nt done all his shows. FUCKING BASTARDS!

[osakaomaka]

Awi you are African michael Jackson.u win your fans through dancing´ singing´ tone .u are full of character

[JSkelentonKey]

wow why did he dress them up in bannannas....if yall know what i'm getting at -_O.

[alphiomega]

Josephine Baker used to dance in the banana skirt .

[JSkelentonKey]

it must represent jungle fever i guess, lol.

as for most of us who r offended about being compared to apes u'd think they wouldnt dress themselves in the representation of apes -_-. especially a black person.

[Spongyb]

JSkelentonKey: What an ignorant comment. Do apes in ur country represented with bananas? Banana is staple food in all tropical countries and among African cash crops beside Apes like nuts better (coconut, groundnut, cashewnut et.c) But as u don't have such crops the only u could provide them with is banana. The great Apes are u people from the mountains.

[JSkelentonKey]

what was there to get mad about????-_-.

stereotypically primates period, not so much apes r thought of having an banana in their damn hand. fucking of course that they eat other foods. like fucking duh. ur ignorant for not bothering to understand my pioint or simply what i meant.

[Spongyb]

JSkelenton: How dare u to say why they wear bananas as apes, I can't understand ur racist comment. Stereotypically primate in ur side of the world. You're on an African channel so mind ur words. If u see ur mountain apes wear such attire u can call them whatever they represent. Ours represent green vegetations with lots of fruits in abundance, it's got nothing to do with apes (watch their head gears laid with fruits). Ignorant is u who don't understand other people's culture.

[JSkelentonKey]

wtf!!!!! i said jungle fever is why their wearing it maybe. ur the one profiling calling people mountain apes! nothing i'm saying means as much as what ur saying. plus what their doing is prolly after a white lady originally i aint knocking anyones culture asshole.its just an opinion of their point of fucking wearing it.

"why they wear bananas as apes" i didnt even type that jerk!

[mwanioyugi]

You are an idiot of the highest order. Your stupidity is beyond comprehension. Ahh but then I can understand. We had to bring a black man from Africa to be president because you idiots were too busy putting 50 inch rims on cars and collecting welfare checks and rejoicing to the stupid rants of soldier boy. African Americans who rag on africans are just jelous because you have done absolutely nothing except hope to be a rapper, drug dealer or athlete. YOU my friend are the fucking monkey.

[JSkelentonKey]

WTF R r u getting all that from????

what i said has SHIT to do with rappers u idiot...how am i the moron when ur jugding off of not even as much as a fucking default pic on my profile -_-??? u dont know if i'm white, asian a fucking it!!! ur the asshole fool! did u even comprehend the argument? u couldnt have cuz i didnt say they were monkeys....ASSHOLE!!!

[mwanioyugi]

If your white your a white monkey and if your asian you are an asian Monkey. The asshole is you coz I dont know if thats your breath or if your ass just grew teeth. Dont get your panties in a bunch if someone replies to your assanine comments. Read the print if you actually can R.E.A.D. Spell it with me you inter bred bush baby. The statement was not in response to Rap which goes to show your reasoning skills are at a primate level. Kindly stick your finger back in your ass.

[JSkelentonKey]

OMG u r a true asshole. u were refering to my character right and i typed how does my comment equal such a person not rap. OVERALL, i was NOT caling them MONKEYS!!!!! i had a whole argument wit sumone bout this...READ THAT it totally got settled. i made my point there! stop getting offended and actually LISTEN/ PAY ATTENETION! all u seen was the noun monkey. the KEY is WHAT was i saying. (if i dont answer back its cuz i try not to associate with ignorance) aka ur being hardheaded/unreasonable.

[JSkelentonKey]

o and josephine baker is a white lady who dressed in the bannanas. proof that i'm talking bout the outfit not the people.thats where i got the swhole jungle fever from. if u dont know what i'm talking bout then thats ur clue that ur ignorant = u shouldnt insult sumone with little info.

[Spongyb]

mwanioyugi: You misunderstood the poor guy, he explained to me infact u know they have another misconception of bananas in his side of the world, he's just trying to defend us with the wrong words. Calm down my African brother. One love & peace

[SHIDAWAMIGORI]

Omera ! chuade wach kabisa...

[mummyange]

@SHIDAWAMIGORI ifuo itimo ang'o ka

[JSkelentonKey]

overall i said it must represent jungle fever or sumin like that. the primate thing was extra! there black so its a lil ironic that people call us monkeys yet i see us dressing like them(in a reprsentation of what white people/mountain apes think of bannanas).

[Spongyb]

Asshole it's just right to watch ur comments. We dress as we feel we're prod of whom we are. We have pride and comfortable with ourselves. They don't want to see us happy, call us names but we don't care because their color we have on the sole of our feet (March them to the ground)

[JSkelentonKey]

oh! power to u! overall i was stating that their representing jungle fever cuz of the reprsentation of the wild and they were dancing wild. i wasnt trying to call anyone a monkey cuz of their costumes... its just a video.i didnt mean to offend u or anyone i was just pointing out a stereotype of blacks acting like monkies.i wasnt calling them apes.

[Spongyb]

All well and good if you are not insulting my people. Monkeys are monkeys and humans are humans. I don't like to classify anyone but sometimes u read an annoying comment and forced to reply. Anyway I take it as misunderstanding of ur comment. Enjoy the vid and welcome to Africa channel ...lol...

[JSkelentonKey]

yea u were right i should watch my words spongyb, lol. people keep picking fights with me! i dont even think not even one read my original comment. all they seen was that i was debating with u. cept for one guy though, lol.

[Spongyb]

I warned u JskelentonKey: Africans don't take shit from nobody. Just explain it was misconception, I advise u watch wht u say on African channels, nomatter where we come from in Africa, when it comes to racism we're united, ready to fight. Baker got nothing to do with those attire. Told u it symbolize rich vegetation land of fruits in abundance especially bananas. White abuse out of jealousy they wish they have bananas, funny they eat them more than we do, they thot we're strong thru fruits.

[scrippsranchgirl61]

ur a bitch who is raciest so get ur facts rigght we africans r happy in our own ways so dnt need ur advice so shut up and get ur life straight loww liife

[Spongyb]

You either can't read or u are simply ignorant. I'm an African did I diss Africa. scrippranchgirl you must be one sad low life white bitch claiming to be African

[scrippsranchgirl61]

bitch pleaze iam an orignial bread african. born in sudan, africa ok n still i gotta admit iam mixed with other things but stoopid azz don't waste ur time with me i mean if you werent the low life you wouldn't bitch out like dat

[Spongyb]

First go and learn to read and understand. I've better thing to do

[JSkelentonKey]
