SA to be propelled straight into hilarity at Roast of AKA TV premiere

Premiering tonight, 11 March, on Comedy Central (DStv channel 122), the Comedy Central Roast of AKA promises to propel the audience straight into the laughter and hilarity.

AKA was in for a major ‘victory slap’ when he came up against one of the most dangerously witty group of roasting panellists ever assembled. The host who can boast the most roast, Pearl Thusi, fights fire with fire alongside panellists Mark Fish, Papa Penny, out-of-orbit Moonchild Sanelly, ready-to-rumble Joey Rasdien, fire-spitting Nina Hastie, bad boy Francois van Coke, ‘Nigerican’ Davido and the ever-extravagant Moshe Ndiki setting AKA alight.

Viacom International Media Networks Africa will be bringing all the sensational content from the Roast of AKA across four of their flagship channels. Kicking off with AKA’s Microwave Roast on MTV Base at 7 pm, followed by a backstage view in the Behind the Scenes Special on MTV  at 8 pm. At 8.30 pm, the BET Red Carpet Fashion Takeover of the Comedy Central Roast of AKA will cover all the celebrity glitz and glam on BET while Jason Goliath’s Pre-Roast Special at 9 pm will propel you straight into the laughter and hilarity of the main show on Comedy Central at 9.30 pm.

To tantalise your taste buds, here is a sneak preview at what some of the foul-mouthed celebrity panellists had to say as they stoked the bonfire.

 “When you collaborate, make sure you get a weaker rapper or you’ll end up being a feature on your own song!” Davido snapped at AKA.

“Nina what do you know about trending – Papa Penny’s hairpiece has more followers than you!” Moshe ripped into Nina.

“I am not sure how you made it onto this panel, I can’t wait to not understand a word you are saying!” Mark did his best to burn Papa Penny.

“AKA’s biggest hit is when Black Coffee smacked his manager!” Joey Rasdien said.

“AKA your beef with Cassper is boring – it was only number 143 of the biggest fights in the world. Number 3 was Moonchild vs. dandruff, number 2 was Davido vs. anything on the top shelf, number 1 was Bonang vs spell check!!” Moshe said.

Moonchild and Pearl had a slap fest as they did their worst to smash each other’s reputations. Moonchild commented, “Pearl, you are an African, but you struggle to do an African accent!” Pearl threw thick mud saying, “Moonchild, to be fair, without that hair you are just Ntsiki Mazwai!”

The Comedy Central Roast of AKA premieres on 11 March on Comedy Central with the extended and uncensored version premiering on Showmax on 12 March.
