Like Gp cares why Nicky or Em or Rih did that. They liked it or not, but it wasn't that deep. I's never that deep unless it's "white doing black" front that some people use. To quote the one below me "chick from the south" is not ethnicity. Accent is not exclusive so deal with it.

When Nicki uses a British accent, she isn't sounding white. Not all British people are White.
Yes. |
Again, neither is "southerner" an ethnicity. How do you sound black when black can have perfect English, French or (sic!) Australian accent
And lmao, black people are 3% of UK, less that Asian ethnicity don't act a fool. So yes, I can say that when Nicky fakes British she's sounding "white" if I want to.

How? Examples please? One of best sellers in my country in recent years is reggae (white) singer, who hardly ever been to Jamaica. He even won best eastern European artist in 2013 MTV EMAs. And nobody's screaming he's making money of other people culture and how disgraceful it is

No. Unless you're actually claiming you're from that place it's not. It's a sign of influence you don't need to be influenced by whole of culture.
Iggy clearly states where she's from
