Eniko Parrish is well known for her relationship with comedian Kevin Hart. Some black women have accused Kevin of leaving his African American ex-wife Torrei for a “an exotic light skinned woman”. Kevin responded by saying “My girl is Black, She’s Jamaican”.

It appears that Eniko may be mixed race due to her “Blasian” looks. It is not uncommon for Jamaican people to be of part Chinese and African heritage as well as other ethnic groups.
