He’s a nepo baby and he knows it.
New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suggested that he only received a plush job on the 2016 Disney film Queen of Katwe because his mother was the director. Mamdani, 33, made the admission with a smile during an interview with the South African radio station Kaya FM 95.9 in October of that year. The aspiring mayor served on the flick as a music supervisor and “third assistant director,” according to IMDb. He was also given a cameo screen role.
“I actually created a playlist for Mira, who also happens to be my mother—you know, nepotism and hard work goes a long way,” Mamdani told Kaya FM interviewer Kgomotso Meso. Throughout the 11-minute interview, he speaks with an affected South African accent, at times adjusting his grammar to reflect the local patois. “Come watch this film, you get the sound proper,” he says at one point.
