Venus
and Serena Williams, have finally squashed speculations that they are
from Nigeria, stating clearly that they were proud to be American
Citizens. The tennis superstars, said this in response to a question
about their true origin, at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos.
“This
is another country that we would love to come from but we are from the
United States and are proud to be from there as well,” Venus said.
Most
of the insinuations have come from their mother’s decision, to name
their late sister, Yetunde. Venus said it was simply because of her
mum’s love for Africa.
She said: “My mum named my late sister after an Africa name because she loves Africa and that is all to it.”
