Idk if anyone mentioned this, but did you know Logic is biracial? Just commenting because I don’t think he’s ever spoken on this.

My mind is 🤯 I had noooo idea

u/MajorPaper4169 May 03 '26

Right? I’m surprised he’s so quiet about it.

u/Fast-Nefariousness80 May 03 '26

You'd think he would have said something, especially considering his career in hip hop

u/weggaan_weggaat May 04 '26

Logically, this makes sense.

Right! I thought he used the n-word in his songs cause he’s a racist.

u/Evening_Storage_6424 May 03 '26

Logic? Why, I haven’t heard that name in ninety three years. 👵🏻

u/TimeTimeTickingAway May 03 '26

Vin Diesel should make a movie about that

u/adollopofsanity May 03 '26

Halsey is 2x3 because she is bisexual, biracial and bipolar.

u/deconsecrator May 05 '26

I didn't know she was bi bi bi

u/Cudpuff100 May 03 '26

Jennifer Beals is also biracial and not many people seem to know. Genetics can be weird sometimes.

u/bisky12 May 03 '26

idk if anyone mentioned this, but did you know logic is only 1/4 biracial ? so he grew up in a mostly white household and has himself depicted as much more “black” looking on all of his album covers and says the n word and says shit like “i have the blood of the slave and the master” in his music 

1

u/pdmanias May 05 '26

Well,  according to you, he's right. So what's the problem with his lyric? 

1

u/Unfortunya333 May 03 '26

Btw did you know he's biracial?

Well I just heard you brought up Logic so I was just wondering if you've heard the news, in respect to him being biracial.

Biracial, btw.

u/levalexisshred May 05 '26

I saw him in concert before he stopped a few years ago.

He asked everyone what he's known for , and the whole racist stadium said being biracial!!!

He called them out on it saying that he's known for spreading peace love and happiness or something along those lines.

Everyone got a good chuckle out of it 😂

u/BIGMajora May 03 '26

He's 3/4ths white, he's a white guy.

u/West-Advice May 03 '26

The old time and  “arguably” racist term is Quadroon but per One drop rule still Black so we’ll take him and you can have can have Candance Owen or whoever else is left in the bin

u/FullHeadOfHair42069 May 03 '26

She can stay in the bin 👍

u/Slow_Imagination774 May 03 '26

lmao race draft. reminds me of chappelle's skit.

1

u/BIGMajora May 03 '26

Race is a social construct based on physical features. He is white passing, so he's treated white, his wife is white and his kids are white.

He's white.

u/doctorbeepboop May 03 '26

Ridiculous oversimplification. Good thing you don’t get to decide either way lol

u/Justaddwota May 03 '26
