is he 4gettin something??hahaha.....samoa does not have king!!..hahaha....the tu'i tonga was ur only king......and u guyz were left with only chiefs!!...hahahha.....juz hope yall no!!!!...lol
so let me get this straight .. he was a succesful football player .. then became and icon in wrestling .. then became a famous movie star .. and know he's a future king ?
I'm sure the reason why the Rock said "king" was because of the fact that to westerners, that is the equivalent of king and it would probably be simpler to say that than to tell them what YOUTAIA said I mean of course I mean no disrespect, its probably just cause the Rock did not want to spend so much time in this interview.
Samoa has no kings. That is a european ideology brought to the islands by the colonials. However, 'Malietoa' is one of the highest titles in the Samoan tradition. In Samoan culture, Malietoa ranks the same with Mataafa, Tupua, and one other title that I cant recall and makes up the "Tama Aiga." Malietoa is NOT the king of Samoa. He is the "Head of State", a european term for a position in a european type govt. such as that of great britain.
@YOUTAIA Are you sure? Samoa always had a tupu, which translates into king. In fact, Samoa always had several tupus which ruled in their respective domains.
The rock is right he's a king but in samoa we don't call him that. Malietoa is the HEAD OF STATES. "O LE AO O LE MALO SAMOA" . and Samoa is no longer WESTERN SAMOA..just SAMOA...lol malo lava. peace xoxo
thank you for telling all those people that the rock is telling the truth about there is a king of samoa. It just make me mad because people of my family (Malietoa)gave Rock the title and they are teasing him about there is no king of samoa.
The Rock is right. King of Samoa which is known as Western Samoa is Malietoa. The people who are saying shit like king elvis most likely don't know anything or they just hate on the rock. Leave the guy alone...atleast he was raise here in the mainland and knows so much about his culture. Much love and respect to The Rock!!!
True that..I think that's why american culture is hurting. Alot of us don't have the ties to our culture anymore. White is white, Black is black...etc. Its all skindeep these days..its sad.
with out samoa there is no koga
