2017 has been a good year for Ghanaian-American actor, Kofi Siriboe who scored a prominent role in the hit movie-Girls Trip as the dude that dated Jada Pinkett Smith’s character.
And to end a good year, he has covered the December 2017/January 2018’s Essence Magazine.
Among other things, he told the Magazine that:
“In first grade I was asked ‘What’s your favorite food?’ I said, ‘Fufu,’ and everybody laughed. I also remember asking my teacher not to say my full name, Nana-Kofi [Nana means ‘son of kings’]. 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.”
