Uzo Aduba on Refusing to Change Her Nigerian Name & "Orange is the New Black" | Sway's Universe

[@kamilleseven283]

I hope she doesn't change her name, it is beautiful. I love hearing people say it. She is a great actress! She steals every scene she is in.

[@tonyweek4097]

change her name for what.that is Igbo beautifully name.it means the road is well with you.

[@KempireRadio]

Love what her mother said about changing her name. She simply instilled in Uzo that if you are great at what you do, everyone will learn your name.

[@janetta98]

Her mother is sharp as a tack. Well done.

[@rayewill2280]

Her energy and spirit is amazing. First time seeing an interview of hers, never watched the show - and I love her! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@Mr.Meeseeks.]

amazing acting. she killed the crazy eyes roll. one of my favorite characters of all time.. "momma said 7 1/2 hours of sleep is ideal" right after waking up from lithium lmao

[@ChristopherShabazz]

Uzo Aduba is amazing. Her voice is very strong. Thanks for the shout out to good teachers. They help shape who we become if they're invested. I recall most of my teachers and still keep in touch with some of them.

[@bigdawgblast2558]

hip hop operatic flow was #1000!!!!!!!!! loved it

[@moodfro7982]

[@RandomChick1974]

[@AndrewMcleod7]

She is a brilliant actress!

[@blairbrown6781]

Her voice is amazing. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 love her

[@necigem]

I was already a fan but after this season and after this interview I'm definitely a fan for life. I love her. She has such a great genuine energy to her. And she is talented on levels so deep and I can't wait to see what she does in the rest of her career. Black Queen keep rising.

[@aishamuhammad5745]

I so love sway. what a classy man!

[@dng2000]

I'm so proud of Uzoamaka and her beloved mother in their stance of their family names in the USA. I can closely related to that myself, where my Cantonese Chinese last name is Ng and the pronunciation of that doesn't exist in English, which gives me a good sense of having a valuable uniqueness. :)

[@latronqui]

Amazing! "If they can learn to say Tchaikowsky, Dostoiewsky, [couldn't hear the other name] they can learn your name". Her mother was already comparing her with great artists. No wonder shhe has made it this far.

[@latronqui]

IREANUS WILSON thanks!

[@itsmekimmy8921]

[@aissatu.]

Great actress! Her Nigerian accent is on flick!

[@itsmekimmy8921]

Aissatu Sila Pereira fleek*

[@tonyweek4097]

[@MrNathanNicholas]

[@flatgirl77]

I love her, she is so pretty

[@munauzor4383]

I'm Nigerian born and raised in canada and her name means one who takes the right path. So she was destined for fame all along. I love her so much and so happy shes Nigerian. Will forever love my country.

[@iamclarco]

That's my girl right there. One love BB.♥♥♥♥♥.

[@roter13]

there was no enough crazy eyes this season

[@Key33Virgo]

She is truly amazing

[@howaterbrd9563]

Don't know what Uzo's family's like but performing arts careers are common in Nigeria and among the Nigerian diaspora.

[@outcast566]

Lol, there are people in Nigeria with cleaner drinking water then those in Flint, Michigan. Shut your mouth.

[@HaremKing]

damn bro

[@TooCluelessArt]

like John Boyega, he's Nigerian!

[@vernlarge2908]

[@MrJaccTrippa]

[@kongokin5452]

Jacc Trippa change it to LUMUMBA SANKARA

[@mrrinkusu]

Jacc Trippa Go with Fufu.

[@marjanhassan5437]

[@LekramNosnevets]

maryan hassan this can't be real... if this is the real you, I've been following you since school of rock...

[@seuna.8438]

I give you Adefemi

[@BDiHaze]

That was BOMB! #BARS Da REAL HipOpera!! #Levels #BeatzLife

[@toksytee]

I feel you @Uzo, my name went from Tokunboh to being called Oklahoma.

[@Whycee54]

WOW.... I love her!!!!

[@DJJayEricaDJJAYERICA]

Why would she change her name.

[@NallahBrown]

I LOVE THE NIGERIAN ACCENT LOL

[@angeloirving3278]

Love it!

[@beeeez5978]

NOW THATS MAYBACH MUSIC!

[@TeaPips]

Stupid sound effects are too loud and unnecessary. Couldn't even hear her talk about her mum reacting to her wanting to be called Zoe.

[@1younggage]

Does anyone else noticed how much she sounds like Remy Ma?

[@chaela7597]

No.

[@thecharlieL]

young gage I can hear a little

[@godsson1860]

yes

[@vusumuzimoyo3477]

This girl gets it. I see chemistry with Sway, but she respects the other females in the room. Holding the hand of the lady in orange is a gesture of , I mean no harm.

[@user-vj1we6ru3u]

This woman is Beautiful but season 5 was garbage...really hard to sit through

[@outcast566]

Straight trash, I couldn't make it past episode 10. But yeah Uzo is beautiful.

[@bigvizzyadot]

outcast566 that's over half the season lol

[@michellenot9787]

SilentP I'm such a fan of the show that I thought it was so cool that we got to see them in the slightest bit of "freedom" and how they acted under those conditions. I'm dying to see next season!

[@Candy-hi9on]

So true I couldn't get passed the 4th episode

[@chuckdeezul2180]

Tracy G and those EYES!!!! 15:46-47

[@kavierocks]

It's crazy. As Suzanne from "Orange Is The New Black", she plays herself. It's just the mental illness part that she puts on the character, but everything else about the character is just Uzo. That's dope.

[@tyronemooselips771]

Blak is tha knew wyte,we winning

[@lukewilson1745]

You lost the spelling bee though.

[@AversiePzz]

Obviously trolling... chill da fak out

[@tyronemooselips771]

Luke Wilson Hank yous for proving mys point,racist bish

[@sandrallewellyn2632]

AversiePzz they are *both* NON BLACK trolls

[@guyg6229]

Freestyle at 16:28

[@KodeKween]

Guy G WRONG TIME.

[@guyg6229]

Kenya Smith ohhh my bad it's @ 16:29

[@KodeKween]

Guy G Thats not the time either. she talking about auditing for OITNB at that point in time.

[@guyg6229]

Kenya Smith yo there's no freestyle

[@KodeKween]

Guy G then why are you putting arbitrary times up. Actually watch the whole interview you'll know the real time of the "freestyle."

[@SoKjay1]

Wow!

[@MrNikeFresh808]

Hip-Hipopera why isn't that a thing, I can see that being a million dollar business!

[@vaneshapatel8320]

Look up “the Rhapsody” feat Warren G and Sissel

[@javanlee7892]

sway great at his job

[@unconformingtruther5496]

Africa doesn't need such "shake and jiving" thou...not when we are the richest on paper

[@tonsshameless8741]

amen

[@echad6259]

...yippee...

[@loyalty773]

I never liked Oprah until now... she is A-ma-zing....

[@tylerwilcox9922]

god damn she can whale haha if that's how you spell it

[@lukewilson1745]

"Refusing to change her nigerian name" What's sad is people are pretending it's brave to not change your name. Nobody gives a fuck.

[@jaylenwhitt7569]

Luke Wilson exactly what I was thinking smh

[@jaylenwhitt7569]

D Cvltvre but why would she?

[@jaylenwhitt7569]

D Cvltvre you should be taught be proud of your name especially a name as unique as "Uzo Aduba" nobody should be influenced by others to change their name because it's who THEY are not anyone else.

[@famalam1595]

Luke Wilson brah Ur name is Luke I don't think u can really relate

[@ebonyeyez5607]

You mad because she's proud to be Nigerian ....hatred of the black woman knowing her true self and not letting the "Jewish/white supremacy" make her hate her African heritage ......

[@staj]

9ja! 🙏
