  1. Just say stepmother instead of saying my brother’s mother also my sister but not my actual mother still kind of my mother.

  2. I think he means she’s a biological mother to his brother and sister, not himself. But she was still a mother figure to Amad. Why not just say stepmom? Idk, but that’s how I understood the wording.

    RIP.

  3. I’m sorry what?

    She’s his mother, but not actually his mother but it is his brother’s mother and she’s actually his sister but also his mother.

  4. I have an easier time figuring out the Targaryen Dynasty than whatever Diallo said right there.

  5. I believe Amad Diallo is saying that the woman who passed away was not his real mom by birth. Instead, she was the mom of his brother and also acted like a mom to him and his sister. So, even though she wasn’t his biological mother, she still took care of him and loved him like a mom would.

  6. So it’s his step mother basically, same dad as his siblings but a different mum he’s just worded it weird which is understandable after losing her, rip

  7. As an African, this isn’t even a little confusing and I’m actually surprised there are so many people making jokes about it not making sense.

    The woman who essentially raised him isn’t his bio-mom, but is the mom of his siblings. They probably just share a father or some other relative.

    My dad has a cousin that was raised as his brother but they were both raised in homes that weren’t their own. I think they think of both moms as their mother but in different ways.

  8. Im pretty sure he just said it wrong guys. I dont think he is saying his sister is his brothers mom

  9. Guys, I wanted to clarify.

    Firstly, we know that Amad’s brother’s mother is also his sister: this is the recently deceased individual, who we will call S. Assuming that incest is off the table, this leaves one clear explanation. S is Amad’s biological half-sister, and was born to parents A (male) and B (female). Amad was born to parents B (female) and C (male). C then later had a child with his former partner’s daughter, S. This child would be Amad’s brother, who we’ll call D. D is Amad’s biological half-brother because they share one parent (C). Interestingly, as well as being Amad’s half-brother on the paternal side, D is also Amad’s half-nephew, through their respective mothers, who are mother and daughter to each other. Here, I’m naturally assuming that people would say ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ when they in fact mean half-brother or half-sister.

    This leaves us with one remaining conundrum. Amad calls S his mother, although we also know that she is not his biological mother. This means logically that S must have been a gestational surrogate parent, who gave birth to Amad and carried Amad’s embryo on behalf of his parents, B and C. This makes sense because we already suspect based on the above information that Amad is quite significantly younger than S. Therefore, it seems possible that S could have been a surrogate mother for Amad, though I am unsure of the legality of carrying your own biological half-sibling to term. Let’s reconstruct the sequence of events for S that we know about. S is born to A and B, then A and B separate, and C becomes B’s partner and presumably S’s stepfather. C and B decide to have a child, and S carries it as a gestational surrogate. She carries her own mother’s baby and duly becomes the surrogate parent to Amad, who calls her ‘mother’. Then, after Amad is born, perhaps not satisfied with being a surrogate parent to her stepfather’s baby, S decides to actually have a biological child with her stepfather as well. We can only surmise as to whether B was consulted in this process, and we do not know her feelings about her former partner becoming a father to her grandson, D. Hope this clears things up.

  10. Okay took some time but i think I understand. With African familial relationships, the words brother and sister can be used to refer to your cousin, Africans don’t really use that word. I am thinking that he and his younger cousin (brother) were raised by their older cousin (mother/sister) she may have been a motherly figure to him this being his mom, but in terms of the biological family tree, she’s his older first cousin.

    edit: or it could’ve been his mom’s sister.
