Un Antillais est africain, mais il est loin de ses racines, de la même manière que Booba se sent loin de son continent d'origine.

Il y a aussi un jeu de mots : Antillais est phonétiquement proche du mot entier.
Et Booba est métis, mais s'est toujours revendiqué Noir.

Donc, il est Africain comme un entier. Mais aussi Africain comme un Antillais car il ne vit pas en Afrique, et est éloigné de la Terre Mère.
