Stephen Belafonte threw a strop last night when a punter asked if he was related to US singer Harry Belafonte.

Miffed: Stephen Belafonte and Mel B

Mel B's husband shouted: “We're not related. You just think all mixed race people look the same. It's just ignorance to think that,” before storming off. He and wife Mel B (no relation to Lisa B) were at Berry Light District in Soho.

I wouldn't think Harry Belafonte would want to be related to such an egotistical person as this - he was far classier than this one could ever be

But HE'S the one that changed his name! Silly oaf.

Odd, I have often wondered the same thing as he does look like the other Mr Belafonte. If it were me I would be flattered that I was compared to such a handsome man.

Hmn! me thinks that he needs to employ a better publicist, as this is the 1st that I have noticed him and probably the last.

I don't see what its got to do with the colour of his skin anyway...... the question was asked because of his surname!!! It seems he has a chip on his shoulder about being mixed race!!!
