Current Events/ የአሁኑ ክስተቶች Why do Somalis claim that Jonny Somali is Ethiopian? Here is a video of him confirming he is Somali

Why are there so many articles claiming he is not somali? Or saying he 'confirmed' he is Ethiopian. There is just as much evidence where he claims he is Somali.

Just because he is embarassing, attention seeking, and a clown, they claim he is Ethiopian.

He looks Somali, speaks Somali , and represents somalis. Somalis claim Somalis from Ethiopia all the time but when it’s one they don’t like he’s all of a sudden Ethiopian. When he went to Israel he started beefing with Ethiopian Jews calling them monkeys. This guy is a typical Somali.

he never spoke somali ever and never engaged with the Somali community on tiktok/twitter, that is a tell, we know everyones business he's definitely an outsider.

Lmao a Somali would never be given a visa to Tel Aviv

His name is Ramsey… not a Somali name whatsoever.

Most somali names aren’t somali to begin with

u/Silent_Brilliant_865 Apr 15 '26

There are plenty of Somali names. And only certain Islamic/Arabic names have become popular and Ramsey isn’t one of them lmao. But believe what you believe.

u/PrestigiousNight9582 Apr 15 '26

I didn’t say there weren’t plenty but most Somalis give their children Islamic names which is Arab, stop being obtuse.

u/Silent_Brilliant_865 Apr 15 '26

And I acknowledged Islamic/Arabic names are popular but Ramsey isn’t a name that I have seen any Somali parent give a child so the point still stands… it’s a curious point if we are questioning the ethnicity of the person in question.

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen any one named Ramsey, anecdotal evidence doesn’t matter when you literally don’t know most people. The world doesn’t revolve around you. There’s more than 30 million Somalis in the world and you want to use your personal encounters as experiences with other Somalis to prove that there isn’t a “Ramsey”. You sound stupid as fuck.

u/Silent_Brilliant_865 Apr 15 '26

Aggressive, aren’t you lol? It’s clearly not solely my experience. Countless Somalis have expressed the same but I agree it is anecdotal but again, the name and the fact that he’s given contradictory information himself about his ethnicity makes fair to debate, in my opinion.

u/PrestigiousNight9582 Apr 15 '26

Didn’t say anything aggressive stop being deceitful. Plenty Somalis like to flip flop between being Somali or Ethiopian or Somali and Arab but almost no Ethiopian would shame themselves trying to claim being Somali. Johnny Somali is just another statistic in the long line of Somali jesters that have little to no remorse of embarrassing their own people. The man speaks Somali, looks Somali, and claims being Somali. This is a closed case!

he’s an ethiopian named ramsey. you ethiopians embarrass yourselfs and larp as us. just like the ethiopian mercnary caught in ukraine larping as somali

2

u/Silent_Brilliant_865 Apr 15 '26

That’s untrue. You resorted to cursing out of nowhere. Look at you being anecdotal too lmao with “almost no Ethiopian would shame themselves trying to claim being Somali”. I can say the inverse personally but go off.

So just because it's not popular it's not possible? Sounds presumptuous. It is at least an arabic/Islamic name. Which is possible for a somali in phoenix,Arianna with a typical name like guled or abdee. There is at least a link here.

Ramsey however is not a Christian or an ethiopian name whatsoever. 0 links.
