Javik does not sound like Jamaican to me, maybe I am stereotyping, but Jamaican (at leastthe one that I have heard/known) tends to be "heavier" on the tone of their accent, while West Africian/Africian English tends to have a "lighter" accent. Case in point, look for the actor that protray as the the black gladitator from Russell Crowe's Gladitator movie, that's true West Africian English.

There is a lot of stupid people in the world, or never met a person with  Jamaica, and just assume it wasn't African.

I actually don't mind his voice all that much. I haven't viewed all of his content yet, but I do find it a little odd that he's the only one in those early flashbacks that sounds like that. 

He kind of sounds like Barbados Slim from Futurama. 
I keep expecting him to say: "You haven't seen the last of Barbados Slim! Now goodbye, forever!"

No way does he sound Jamaican.

Helps I was acquainted with an african guy in high school that was also named Ike (pronounced "ee-kay").
