Pete Wentz
Some people may know Pete Wentz as the frontman for the alternative rock band Fall Out Boy while others know him as Ashley Simpson’s ex-husband. But many people would be surprised to find out that Wentz is half Black. While his father is of English and German descent, his mother is Afro-Jamaican. Wentz’ maternal grandfather served as the U.S. Ambassador to Sierra Leone and his cousin is former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
