Ghanaian actress Nana Ama McBrown has disclosed in an interview with Ghanaian journalist Captain Smart that her real name was never Nana Ama McBrwon.

She said that she was given the name Felicity Agyemang at birth. But her uncle wanted her to have a different name to look more foreign than Ghanaian, so she needed to change her birth name.

In an interview monitored by YEN.com.gh on Onua TV, the actress told Captain Smart that in January 2001, she was flown out of the country by an uncle, who later changed his name to McBrown, thus resulting in her name change as well.

The actress said she was grateful to God for directing her on a path that he saw fit for her even when she had planned to stay in the united states initially.
