    She said here (https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/365521-bia-clarifies-her-ethnicity-after-viral-tweet-says-shes-not-black-news) that her father was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents. So maybe change ethnicity to:

    *Father – Puerto Rican [African, Spanish, Indigenous Taíno], remote French
    *Mother – Italian

    Her patrilineal line traces back to Jean (Juan) Landrau, from Bordeaux, France, and Marie-Antoinette (Mariana/María Ana) Malaret, from Paris, France. Source:
