Kofi Kingston is now one-third of The New Day and became one of the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in the history of WWE last year. Even though it has been almost a decade since Kofi's debut when he attempted to convince the WWE Universe that he was Jamaican, it seems that this gimmick still haunts him.

The Usos noted as part of their rap battle in the summer, that they thought that Kofi was Jamaican, but he was actually Ja-faking.

This is because WWE came up with the plan for Kofi to debut as a Jamaican Superstar but he couldn't keep the accent up and it has instead now become common knowledge that he is Ghanaian.
