Abdi also talks about the piracy in Somalia, and adjusting the American lifestyle, like seeing snow for the very first time. Barkhad went from the couch to the screen and is the definition of overnight celebrity.

they are talking to him like he's an alien, come on guys...
haha
Wow...this interview was so ignorant on so many levels. First of all your saying his name backwards and you did not do your research at all. Crazy.
Sway acting like he never heard of Somalia or met any Somalians before, embarrassing man, awful interview, big up to Barkhad humble and so blessed, he’s got an incredible story that deserved more from Sway and his production team, big up all my Somali bros 🇸🇴
Agree.
My gosh it pains me to hear that interview.Sway asking about Mogadishu ..... The capital of Somalia is Mogadishu You learn that in geography class.
He dont know anything about his african roots
@@greveeen he was pretty unprepared for this interview
Even if he didn’t learn that in school, prepare yourself for an interview. It takes you 1 minute to Wikipedia Somalia to understand the basics. He’s lazy!
Lets not forget that Somalia pirates were and are defending their waters after nuclear waste was dumped near their shore.
They even put a line in the movie where abdi's character tells tom hanks that he was a fisherman and that the only reason he was a pirate to make money was because americans overfish their seas
carlosv1031
yep that right man
thats right Sabledoux
They still kill and kidnap people like...cool reason still murder
Lol no they not they started protecting there waters and realized how profitable it is to rob boats. Just thieves but nice try.
damn sway do some research "Somalia ruled by Ethiopia" c'mon fam
i think he got somalia mixed up with eritrea
If it was not russia in 1977 ethiopia would be part of somalia for Now
yes but u see somalis got the soviets help at that time and was not ruled by ehtipoia , those same soviets even sided with ethipoia at one point and somalia had to fend for its self :/ but we were never ruled by em good riddance@@khalifaas1104
Khalifa As Exactly Somalia isn’t a figure 7 it’s the whole of The Horn.
I've lost respect for Sway after this ignorant interview....Sway you dont have the answers!!!!
Hooooooold up... Somali ruled by ethiopia? Sway you're slacking.
He forgot his roots are from africa, embarressing
Wow, Im a fan of Sway even from Wake Up show, but Sway and Heather made Abdi look like he came from Mars. "Did you even know who Tom Hanks was?", "Did you have any people who participated in that?", "I didnt understand how you got to Minnesota?". It baffles me how one can ask ignorant questions like that on air. They treated him as it was his first time in the states the day of this interview. Im second guessing Sway.... Wishing you the best Abdi.
It takes a life of hardship and loss to be this humble and understanding. I recently read that Abdi only made $65000 for his role in Captain Phillips and the movie grossed over 50 million. It's really a disgrace that he didn't get paid a lot more simply because he was new. Tom Hanks will walk away with over 15 million but this poor man is now broke (from what I've read). maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
That's how life works. They more you build up your catalog or resume, The more money you can negotiate over time. You can't compare Tom Hank's resume to Barkhad's resume. Barkhad is a first time actor & he recieved standard screen actor's pay which is suppose to be $60,000. He was actually paid $65,000. They was no wrong doing there. In fact, Jonah Hill also had to take a pay cut & was paid standard $60,000 for his role in " The Wolf of Wall Street ". But the Reward was worth the risk because it ended up getting him an Oscar nomination, The same went for Barkhad, even tho he was only paid $65,000, He did a really good job & got an oscar nomination which will allow him negotiate more & better roles with more money in the future. It's simple patients & sacrifice that's all !
Emmanuel Chenny Huh. This was actually really intelligent and informative from both sides of the argument. Thumbs up for both of you, I wish more youtube comments were like this. Lol
I am sure he will get a big bonus plus new roles.
Oh! That's bad the fact that he made the movie so interesting
Broke? The nigga was a Oscar nominee and got BETA award. Hes making 5 new fucking movies this year and was featured in Hawaii FiveO
The host is kinda ignorant....Somalia ruled by Ethiopia?!? lol
fucking idiot. Ethiopia never ruled somalia ..
idiot!!
Parts of Somalia are still occupied by Ethiopia like ogadenia which was stolen
are you mad? Somalia was never ruled by Ethiopia dont confuse Somalia with Eriterea
Lol Kinda weird hehe
"How did you get to Minnesota?" .... um he took a plane...
P. Loves Glam typical american QUESTION. they think they all are the only ones on the earth.
He swam from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. Some people ask stupid questions 🙄
Barkhad's future is brighter than the sun. This guy will do great things and become something legendary. The next big thing!
How did he continue to call him Abdi Barkhad throughout the whole interview when his name is Barkhad Abdi. Barkhad is patient because anyone else would have corrected him after the first 3 times.
Snitch? wtf Sway
Sway so ignorant... He kept calling Somalis "Somalians" even though Barkhad kept correcting him.
Whats wrong with swag I got somalian friends and they are look everyone they don't look like aliens his treating him like his a alien... this man is great he his awesome I appreciate what he did and he killed the role in tomhanks
I spells swag instead of sway, allert spelling mistake lol
His acting like he doesn’t know basic English
Why african americans gotta be so jealous on other black men doing good?
Yikes.
Someone needs to hire a researcher.
O.o
Sway is one ignorant dude. Do your homework son before you interview. Totally unprepared for this interview.
I have lost respect for sway after this interview
Seriously? Do your homework sway. You owe at least THAT to the guest on your show. A little disrespectful & unprepared - WHAT do u even do for your show? just go to the movies and wing it at an interview. smh -_-
His first name is Barkhad why does Sway keep calling him Abdi Barkhad? Barkhad Abdi
Love you so much Mr Barkhad abdi✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😭😭😭❤❤❤❤
Ignorant questions all over the place.
Sway got the Somalis mad lol.
Somalis are the most informed people on the world affairs lol This dude is very ignorant, how can u say if barkhad knew Tom Hawks ! I hope he's connected to the Internet OMG. loool
Sway got this thing where he tries to play people out who seem weak but he won't try that shit with these street guys who come on his show.. Hate people like that.
As a Somali person I enjoyed this interview. I loved the fact that one of us was actually invited to the table to have a conversation about us.
Most of the time its people who don't know us having a BS convo about us and there is no one in sight to fact check anything they say. I notice people in the comments are looking at Sway side-eyed and saying he doesn't know anything about us, BUT THATS OK. Most Americans are exactly like that.
At least he took the time took to talk to us instead of having this discussion with someone whos not Somali. That's a big deal!
I remember watching the movie Black Hawk Down and realizing they didn't even have a single Somali person on set.
I've always been a fan of your show and I respect you even more now. Much love bro.
Sway asks stupid question
Abdi: Look at me
Sway: sure
Abdi: Look at me
Sway:sure
Abdi: I’m in charge of the Podcast now
and its barkhad abdi... not abdi barkhad
Sway ignorant as hell in this interview. But was spooked when kanye was on
It's always better to say nothing and let others think you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove any doubt.
That movie was good I woulda never guessed he was chilling in Minnesota before he did that...
It's Barkhad Abdi!!!!!!!!!!! Stop saying it backwards,LMAO
I like that they played a Somalian artist so cool between the takes. :) So happy for Barkhad, he has such a Somlian indigenous look, also Ethiopians have such stunning bone structure and long necks I love it. It's a grerat history lesson for us all, when we see these actors who are really from the places the roles call for. I hope to go to Ethiopia some day.
WTF? "stunning bone structure"? "long necks"? What a fucking creepy bigoted RACIST. Save your insensitive comments to yourself, you far right idiot
why bring race up
This is such a bad interview. How can he be so misinformed? In Shaa Allah Barkhad succeeds in all roles he plays.
Barkhad is use to American ignorance by now it’s just sad when you have a platform like this to display it on
Do your research before you interview someone:/ Hell nah man ain’t nobody gonna tell the Community you said what’s up. If I were him I would walk away man.
He was awesome in captain Phillips. You can tell barkhad is nervous though
Ignorant questions all over the place.
Sway and the female host need to do better coming up with these questions. They are coming off as ignorant cuz they dont even know a single thing to what theyre talking about
Honestly, this was so painful to watch
"Paying the pills"
lmaoo so many fucking mistakes. Why is he acting weird around him?
this nigga Sway just told Barkhad to hookup with Iman when shes married??
barkhad his amazing
Really Sway! You need to educate yourself on African affairs. Not just east African but all The African countries. It's not that complicated. That makes every African American look bad.
Jason xxx kills germs they shouldnt really be called african americans anymore.
know The Way Somali* dumbass AINT NO SUCH THING AS SOMALIAN
The reason why his not giving up on information is I believe he doesn't know about a lot about his culture not snitch please next time Google about the history of our wonderful culture abdi ..loool
Yo, did Puff Daddy convert to Islam ?
Great movie just got done watching it. I searched Barkhad Abdi interviews lol
sway said, "damn abdi you dont wanna snitch man"..lmfaooo
represent the horn of africa
Sway you ain't got the answers, sounding ignorant
Ameerika waxay aad u sifeeyeen farqiga u dhaxeeyo quruxda haweenka iyo tan raga soomaaliyeed waxaad moodaa in haweenka ay sareeyaan. eeman hadey kuugoysay aktar cajiib ah ayaad noqotay.qosal miiran.
Total disrespect.
Love for him man,he really started from nothing
Man that was painful to watch..Really disappointed by Sway. Always thought he knows about Africa and actually cares. He didnt even prepare..and then continuously putting him on the spot to cover up his lack of knowledge. Next time ask Black Thought or Questlove or..you know people who actually care about their origin...I cant believe I just watched that. I used to be a fan..but this here shows a side of Sway I wish I had never seen. What a shame. This guy has been through so much and thats what you come up with..and that snitch comment smh. Thats how I imagine Trump would interview someone from Africa.
wow so humble and so talented
i dont know if he fits in hollywood
Damn I love Sway but this was a terrible interview
12:19 that look tho, gangsta lol
Jadakiss - Knock Yourself Out
"you kilt that son!" lmao.. and i like this guy Abdi
What a dead interview, just insulting man
The interviewers 🤦🏽♀️ you really need to do your research before calling in someone
Barkhad said he moved to the USA at 14, but so he still left Somalia at 7? Wonder where he went in the interim.. will look it up.

interview the guy properly sway..
somalia is huge sway,,,
Funny boy abdi greeting qandala boy
Abdi was good but he sees unprepared for the quick fame
to the guy who posted that Barkhad had trouble with the interview because of a language barrier: He came to the US at the age of seven. He understands & speaks English like a native English speaker. He is a soft spoken man & he thinks a bit before responding. Yes, it is a sensitive topic because the Somali piracy began as Barkhad mentioned, because commercial fishing ships were in Somali waters (illegally) stealing fish (literally tons of fish) putting poverty stricken Somalis out of business. They began to capture the ships to reclaim their catch; the ships became armed; it got dangerous; they began to capture other kinds of ships which were unarmed. It is very risky & some pirates are killed in their attempt to over take a ship. The host was wrong in saying that the pirates would have killed captain & crew. They usually do not, as they must be returned safely with the ship & cargo to get their ransom. For more info. read the book "Pirates of Somalia" It is fascinating.
He came to the U.S. at age 14. he left Somalia at age 7, moved to and lived in Yemen for another 7 years until him and his family won the Green Card Lottery. Don't spit shit if you don't know. With that being said, English is not his first language, he has admitted before in his interviews. He speaks clearly but he is not fluent in the English Language.
Maybe you missed it but he moved to YEMEN at age seven and went to the US at age fourteen. You learn by listening.
You're welcome.
you aint got the answers SWAYYYYYYY
"say that again"...Mogadishu. lol
he left 14 years old lol
This our star of we Somali people

He's amazing ...great job man
This guy did a very good job acting as a pirate , i enjoyed that movie very much !!!
Abdi is so patient lmao
That’s why he’s the captain
2:25 YOU GOT MULTIPLE THINGS WRONG NOT JUST ONE....AND IN LESS THEN 3 MINUTES
Jesus dude less than a minute and you already forgot what role the guy played🤨
Some research would have been nice.
Barkhad shouldn't have given these bantu a minute.
mansha allaha allow somali nodowaraaaa
wow this interviewer needs to sack his researcher
Iman was married to David Bowie when this was made
Did you say you were planning to take a cruise?
Sway was clowning him the whole time, tf man?
