Cantonese Influences? edit

I think someone needs to confirm or deny this absurdly dubious paragraph from the article:

“

However, Chinese scholars agree that "nann," or more properly, "'n'an'," is properly a contraction of "any other," the phonetic path being 'n'an' < 'ny ath' < any other. This is typical of Southern AAVE rap, which deploys aggressive vowel merging and final dropping to ease rhyming as derived from close ties to Chinese antiquity.

”

I mean, perhaps The Computer Thug decided to add this amusing, quasi-acadamician-sounding edit to this own article? I'm pretty sure that "AAVE" (Ebonics) does NOT have especially close ties to Chinese antiquity. But then my specialty is Indo-European philology, not afro-asiatic paronomasia.
