Speaking to the magazine about his name and Ghanaian culture, he says:
In first grade, I was asked ‘What’s your favourite food?’ I said ‘Fufu,’ and everybody laughed. I also remember asking my teacher not to say my full name, Nana-Kofi. Last year I went to Kumasi, in Ghana, for the first time and met the king, whose real name is Nana.
I didn’t always understand the roots that are woven into my name, but that realization is happening now.
