Although Nana was born in the United States, he claims that he is the son of an Ashanti tribe member with royal heritage and the heir to the throne of Ashanti in Ghana. When Nana was three, his family relocated to Ghana for five years, returning so that Nana could be educated in America. As a teenager, he relocated to New York City in America as an exchange student. In 1992, at the age of twelve, Nana watched WrestleMania VIII, and was inspired by the WWF Championship match between "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Ric Flair to become a wrestler. A year later, he wrote to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF; renamed WWE in 2002) and asked their advice as to which professional wrestling school he should attend. The WWF recommended that he train under Larry Sharpe in New Jersey, but Nana felt that Sharpe's school was too far away. Instead, Nana became a photographer for Johnny Rodz, who operated Gleason's Gym in New York. Nana worked for Rodz until he turned eighteen, when Rodz began training him as a wrestler.

Nana debuted in 1996, wrestling in a church in Spanish Harlem. Nana worked regularly for the East Coast Wrestling Association in Delaware and USA Pro Wrestling in New York, as well as making appearances with the WWF and with Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX in Japan.

Following his departure from ROH, Nana made only sporadic appearances over the next several years. In 2019, he returned to regular independent wrestling competition, appearing for promotions including Pro Wrestling Empire, Pro Wrestling Magic, and the Renegade Championship Wrestling promotion. He also reunited with former Embassy member Jimmy Rave and Sal Rinauro to form a new version of The Embassy. The trio competed in the King of Trios tournament at Chikara in October 2019, where they were defeated by FIST in the first round. His in-ring activity remained limited during 2020 and 2021.

• Illustration — Nana at All In in August 2024 On July 23, 2022, at Death Before Dishonor, Prince Nana returned to ROH, purchased Tully Blanchard Enterprises, and reformed The Embassy with Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona, who later won the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship at Final Battle in December, marking the first time a client of Nana's had won a championship. In April 2023, Nana began managing Swerve Strickland in ROH's sister promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW), after Strickland announced he was merging his 'Mogul Affiliates' stable with The Embassy into the Mogul Embassy. A year later, Strickland won the AEW World Championship under Nana's managership, marking the first time a member of the Embassy had won any sort of singles championship. The Mogul Embassy later dissolved when Cage, Kaun, and Liona attacked Strickland and formed Cage of Agony, but Nana continued managing Strickland without the Embassy banner. In August 2026, Nana began managing the debuting New Level (Kofi and Austin Creed) alongside Strickland as the trio would win the AEW World Trios Championship.

In 2020, Nana began hosting The Prince Nana Show, a podcast featuring interviews with professional wrestlers and other figures from the wrestling industry.
