The comedian says the startling revelation came while appearing on a segment of the PBS docuseries \"Finding Your Roots\" set to air on Feb. 20, 2024 that the two are actually kin. <\/p>\n
I turn the last page, and guess whos sitting there? Morgan said while reflecting on that moment. Nas. Me and Nas are third cousins on my moms side. <\/p>\n
Morgan also said his bond with the rapper transcends the limelight. <\/p>\n
Me and Esco was always tight before that, he explained. I did a show years ago on \"Comedy Central\" called One Mic, that was for Nas mom that just passed away. So me and Esco always been tight. <\/p>\n
After Morgan got the news of his newfound family member, he reached out to Nas to notify him. <\/p>\n
I called him up, and I say, Yo Esco, he said, What up Trey? Morgan recalled. And I said, I just did 'Finding Your Roots.' Me and you related. <\/p>\n
While sharing the news, both became overtaken with emotion. <\/p>\n
He started crying, I started crying, Morgan recalled. And I said to him, If you ever need me, Im there, Cuz. He said, Cuz, if you ever need me, Im there. <\/p>\n
Additionally, during the show, Morgan will trace his ancestors' footsteps after they arrived in the United States from slave ships. <\/p>\n
They went back 400 years on my fathers side and 400 years on my mothers side. I thought I was big in my life till I found out what my great, great, great grandmother did, Morgan continued. My great, great, great, great, great grandfathers name was Abraham Mack. I know the name of the slave masters who owned us, I got it right here on my phone and the slave ship. <\/p>\n
From the The Last O.G. actors powerful experience with discovering truths within his lineage, he hopes more people will take charge and do the same. <\/p>\n
You need to know who you come from before you leave this earth. Know who you are and where you come from. Knowledge itself. I did a lot of crying. And no matter who you are, youre gonna break down. <\/p>\n
