Oom Oubaas to roast AKA

Following the news that Tsonga music sensation Penny Penny would be joining comedian Joey Rasdien, musician Moonchild Sanelly, Francios Van Coke, Mark Fish, and Nina Hastie on the panel for the upcoming Comedy Central Roast of AKA, it has been announced that veteran actor Pierre Van Pletzen will be joining the roast panel.

The announcement was made earlier today in addition to the news that Davido and Moshe Ndiki would also be joining.

Global music sensation Davido will become the first Nigerian to join the globally famous Comedy Central Roast, although, based on his comment about the roast, we have no idea what to expect from him.

“I’m such a big fan of Comedy Central, this is going to be a hilarious night. I’m ready, Africa are you ready? This is a roast so nothing is off limits!” said Davido.

One panellist we are excited about, however, is a man that has been described by Comedy Central as “a media sensation [that] has enough fiery flamboyance to take on the Man – AKA”, Moshe Ndiki.

Having shot to fame for creating hilarious commentary videos online, Moshe definitely has what it takes to set the Comedy Central Roast stage on fire.

“I love the Comedy Central Roast because this will be a platform for me to query aspects of how AKA believes he is the first guy who invented blonde hair in December, he might as well have pioneered the passion gap for coloured folk. I mean he is the first coloured guy on earth according to his tweets,” said Ndiki in a statement.

The final addition, which has raised many questions on social media is the addition of Van Pletzen, popularly known as “Oom Oubaas” to the panel.

When asked about the opportunity, Van Pletzen simply said: “It feels wonderful to be part of the Roast of AKA, whom I’d like to address as the non-humble infamously popular rapper, about a few things; his no-show at performances, his knowledge of geography and since he says he loves soccer… I would like to ask if he’s practising his technique by kicking fans off the stage?”

The Comedy Central Roast of AKA live show will take place later this month and will be made available for public viewing in March.
