10 American Celebrities You Didn’t Know Are From Ghana.🤭

[@clintonlantuo4560]

Abraham Attah was born in Ghana, lived in a community called Ashiaman. He moved to America after his breakthrough in Beast of no nation.

[@shekasahidtejansie4840]

Idris Elba was born in London by a Sierra Leonean father and a Ghanian mother

[@cathyandderson1753]

I thought he is even a Nigerian

[@chernotellibah8816]

Her Mother grow up in Sierra Leone she has Sierra Leone passport

[@NwaLioness]

@@chernotellibah8816 she is still Ghanaian

[@Denise-gf4zt]

You should say these actors have Ghana roots. Boris and Idris were born in Europe. It is important that your information is in addition to being inspirational it is also FACTUAL

[@luckyigbomor4088]

You are judging it by European standards. In Africa, it's your blood that determines where you are from. That's why all blacks are African by default, no matter how many generations they've been away.

[@themercy138]

Actually I think Idris was born in Sierra Leone, and emigrated as a child

[@eberkomeb2]

Either you seem to have hearing difficulties or selective hearing. She said, many Ghanaian stars were born outside the country!

[@fatmatakamara3139]

Idris is not ghanian bt Sierra Leonean

[@rosilialaroda7467]

And I am still waiting to see a real Ghanaian female. We got to see our beautiful dark skinned men(for the most part). I will give you a few examples:Ama Abebrese;Lydia Forson;Soraya Mensah;Yvonne Okoro;Juliet Ibrahim, just name a few.

Abraham Atttah was born in Ghana 🇬🇭 not America

[@shopthebestbest461]

If he has changed his nationality, they may seen it so.

Cynthia Addai 🤔 I’ve loved her movies from all this while but didn’t know she had a Ghanaian root. Nice video ✌🏾

[@africa_reloaded]

If you loved watching this video, please do leave us a like...don't forget to share with friends.

[@kevinsykes699]

I find the Caption on the thumbnail very annoying and condescending and it’s even worse when it’s done by an African channel. What is shocking about all these actors being Ghanaians? It’s like an Australian posting a video titled “shocking!! They are all Australian” or a British doing the same. Are the expectations you have of yourself as a Ghanaian or an African that low?? 🤦🏾‍♂️ pathetic

[@monikagintsiful2355]

Your pronunciations of Ghanaian names are atrocious

[@africa_reloaded]

@@monikagintsiful2355 sorry about that still learning

[@2angels4me24]

It would be in #AfricaReloaded's best interest to allow someone of African descent to read your scripts, so as to properly pronounce names, titles, locations, etc.

[@raphaelamoatey3618]

Abraham Attah was born in Ghana and later moved to America after his beast of no nation breakthrough. And please work on the pronunciation of our local names. Good job done so far

[@mindgrindhustlellc9531]

That's because they're using a software program for the voice-over.

[@JOY-st3ok]

Nice Job, next time kindly work on the names, before going on set. But still nice job.

[@esiasante338]

Wow! All of them are making me a proud Ghanaian!😀

Think the elixir voice over didn't really helped with the local names pronunciation but great 👍🏽 masterpiece except some few factual informations...

Idris Elba his father is from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and his mother is from Ghana 🇬🇭

[@Brakdayton]

This is a really inspirational list, however, the video is let down by two things: 1. *The narrator* must be a bot but the scriptwriter must’ve messed up on the punctuation and spelling. 2. *The title* is misleading. Frema and Idris are both British.

[@ijeomauwasomba474]

The narrator's mispronunciations are hilarious.

It was so Cringy. I had to write my own comment about it. Smh even the American names she Jacked Up.

They are Ghanaian. Roots are when the relations are not close. If ur mom or dad are Ghanaian you are half Ghanaian but if your great great something is Ghanaian then you have gh roots.

It's the way she's pronouncing Ghanaian towns and names for me😁. Please learn the right pronunciation 😀😀

[@user-bz3ou9pw2f]

You would think she would have learned the pronunciations before putting a video out. I gather by her accent that she is of the white race. This trend where white people report on black culture is becoming a mockery. Stick with your own culture, you can't get it wrong there!

Yes

@kim the publisher should have stated that before saying he is from Ghana. His mother being a Ghanaian does not make him fully Ghanaian, his father is a born Sierra Leonan.

[@bxbeautynyc]

He’s Ghanaian. In fact, he was just meeting with the President of Ghana not too long ago.

His meeting with the president of Ghana doesn't make him a full-time Ghanaian you guys don't get it! His father is originally from Sierra leone. Besides Edris was not born in Ghana, his mother is a Ghanaian.
