KUMERICA

Kumerica is an internet slang (sensational social media word) for the city of Kumasi in Asanti Region of Ghana. The word Kumerica was coined from a blend (portmanteau) of Kumasi and America (Ku + merica) by the young people of Kumasi (Oseikrom or The Garden City of West Africa) who live their lifestyle full of luxuries, bling-blings and display of jewels, gold chains, ostentatious cars, royalty and riches like the people of America. Originally, their main purpose was to showcase their riches and luxurious lifestyle, to tell the world that they live in Kumasi but their lifestyles are like the Americans; and this includes how they speak American English (especially American slangs, tonations and accent), how they dress, and wear luxury clothes, shoes and use cars. This word was coined and popped up on the social media mid this year (2020). Anyone born in Kumerica and/or lives in Kumerica is called Kumerican. As at the time of writing this piece of article, the word Kumerica or Kumerican is the most trending used word in Ghana, and globally recognized. Now the word Kumerican is someone who lives in and/or born in Kumerica (Kumasi), and it doesn't matter whether the person dresses and behaves like an American or lives in luxurious lifestyle with bling-bling. The up-coming artistes and musicians in Kumerica have popularized the term (Kumerica and Kumerican) in their songs and music to reflect their identity as Kumericans and Asantes at large.

Kumerica

The youth who hail from Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, Ghana. (Kumasi + America) They like to portray themselves as hustlers, gangsters, basically African Americans in the hood. (Chains, dressing, accent, slangs etc). There is actually no affiliation or relation to gangs/gang banging. Just youth having fun.
