Quincy Jones said he "obviously didn't want to be black." Hell, in the diss song Kizzle just posted, Jermaine even says "Once you were made, you changed your shade."
Somehow the closest people in his life never saw this vitiligo, so it obviously wasn't appearing anywhere he needed to worry about masking for any cameras/video. He had to change his entire body to white and all his features to caucasian, because he had maybe a small patch of white skin or something on his hip or above his knee? Just doesn't seem plausible.
Anyway, it's not a big deal. People can believe whatever makes sense to them either way. I suspect he just self-identified more as a white woman than as a black man, and that's the way he chose to represent himself. Either way, it's whatever. That was his business and it doesn't really matter much.
