It’s Kuh-nay-guh.
High school sports star Noah Knigga has become quite the internet sensation for much more than his athletic accomplishments recently … but he wants everyone to know his name is safe for everyone to say — as long as it’s pronounced correctly.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The athlete and his family did an interview with Robert Griffin III this week … and they answered the burning question surrounding their surname.
Of course, social media has been having a field day with the whole phenomenon … firing off jokes left and right as it comes SUPER close to a word that could get a lot of folks canceled real quick.
Even RGIII had fun with it during the Q&A … asking the Kniggas if they’ve ever been to Paris — a reference to the famous Jay-Z and Kanye West song.
FWIW — the Kniggas have never visited the City of Lights.
But friendly jabs aside, Noah — a junior at Lawrenceburg High in Indiana — is being recruited by multiple Division I schools to play football … and recently won MVP honors in a basketball tournament over the weekend, so his game is no joke.
Who knows, maybe he’ll even become a household name someday!!
