The singer set the record straight about her Latina roots with Latina magazine during her recent appearance on Idol Gives Back.
“Yes, I have Mexican in my ancestry,” said Fergie. “My Dad’s grandmother was born in Guanajuato. I’m very proud of it; that’s probably where I get my fire! I’m mostly Scottish-Irish, though.”
“My heritage is a complete mixture that includes Irish, Scottish and Mexican strains, and I don’t feel tied to any one culture.”
When the magazine asks Fergie why her Latina background has been so ambiguous the singer say, “I don’t go around claiming it big time,” the singer explained, “because there are many more full-bred Latinas that are out there to represent.”
Unlike Jessica (Don’t Call Me Latina) Alba who strongly denies her Latina root, Fergie isn’t trying to hide them.
There’s nothing to be shame of!
