Haile Selassie I was born Tafari Makonne from a mixed Oromo, Amhara, and Gurage15 family on 23 July 1892, in the village of Ejersa Goro, in the Harar province of Ethiopia. His mother was Woizero ("Lady") Yeshimebet Ali Abajifar, daughter of the renowned Oromo ruler of Wollo province Dejazmach Ali Abajifar. Haile Selassie's father was Ras Makonnen Woldemikael Gudessa, the governor of Harar; Ras Makonnen served as a general in the First Italo–Ethiopian War, playing a key role at the Battle of Adwa.16 He inherited his imperial blood through his paternal grandmother, Princess Tenagnework Sahle Selassie, who was an aunt of Emperor Menelik II, and as such asserted DIRECT DESCENT FROM MAKEDA, the Queen of Sheba, and King Solomon of ancient Israel.

M$So, in summary, Selassie could conceivably be a descendant of sorts, but probably less than most people, particularly Jewish ones who could likely trace back to multiple children of Solomon, if records had been kept.
