André Nascimento dos Santos Góis
Gen 8"In Brazil, André is commonly known as Nêga - although the name is mostly avoided in the US due to it being connoted as offensive. The origin of the nickname goes back to a famous Brazilian YouTuber/comedian named Pranchana Jack, who had a viral song named "Nêga do Subaco Cabeludo". André was a fan of the song and his friends, jokingly, compared Gois' with the kid featured on the video, which quickly became associated with André. At first, Góis was called the full extent of the song name, but with time it was shortened to Nêga."
