Family background/heritage.

Hi! I'm wondering if we should leave any mention of his family background out in the article? I can't find solid info from himself on what his heritage is. Some sites like here, claim he has Puerto Rican and African American heritage, others state he's of Jamaican and Puerto Rican background, and he himself says a DNA claimed he's 20% Irish.

If anyone can find an article on what he says his family background is, because I can't find anything directly coming from Swizz Beatz mouth. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 16:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Swizz beats is not Puerto Rican, his mother is African American. Her maiden name being “king” and her being from Georgia. His ancestry being 20% Irish/British is typical black American ancestry results. It should be changed GekiAlpha12 (talk) 08:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Megaupload affiliate

There is not much mentioning about his potential business involvement with the Megaupload service, although there is substantial information available[1]. Also he received credits about contributing to the MegaUpload 'MegaSong' video [2].
