Vic Mensa is an American rapper. His father, Edward Mensah, is a university professor, who was born in Ghana. His mother, Betsy McGurk, works in the Public School system, and is a white American, of Irish, German, and English descent.
He has stated:
Growing up half-white and half-black, there were times when I was younger when I just wished I could be one or the other. Never being fully accepted somewhere is hard… I’m still different, you know. I’ve never been 100% something that you could put in a box. I think that crosses into my music and my experience in the rap industry.
Vic’s maternal grandparents were Charles Ralph/K. McGurk and Roberta Grace Eilenberger (the daughter of Charles F. Eilenberger and Olive Marian Rose Weibly). Vic’s great-grandfather Charles was the son of John Robert Eilenberger and Harriet Alvana Davis. Olive was the daughter of Allen DeForest Rose and Florence Eloise Haskin.
