High school sports star Noah Knigga after going viral for revealing he is set to visit West Virginia college and was greeted with the question “How do you pronounce his last name?”, has finally cleared up the correct pronunciation of his name.
Man has finally cleared up the controversy surrounding his name “Noah Knigga” and I guess everyone is clear with the correct pronunciation of the name.
Since announcing his plan to visit West Virginia on January 14, Knigga has gained plenty of attention online due to his eye-catching surname, which could sound like an offensive racial slur if pronounced a certain way.
‘Bro why is that your last name,’ one user replied to a post which has now raked in almost 30 million impressions on X.
‘How do announcers say yo last name,’ another fan asked. ‘Do they just skip over it?’
So as he prepares to size up West Virginia, Knigga has finally cleared up how to pronounce his controversial last name in an interview with former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III – and it’s safe to say if done so correctly.

‘It’s Kuh-nay-guh,’ he said while sat alongside his family.
Griffin then replied: ‘See that’s the key. It’s Kuh-nay-guh, there you go. Now we vibing a little bit.
‘I know for some people that might ruin the name, I don’t think it ruins the name at all.’
The pronunciation doesn’t sound like how people used to pronounce it then but now, I guess to clear to everyone that the name isn’t controversial.
