Mr Forbes, also known as 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 “Fiiiiiiiiiish”, 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 “A King Alight”!
To tantalise your taste buds, here is a sneak preview at what some of our foul-mouthed celebrity panellists had to say as they stoked the bonfire.
Davido snapped at AKA: “When you collaborate, make sure you get a weaker rapper or you’ll end up being a feature on your own song!”
Moshe ripped into Nina with: “Nina what do you know about trending – Papa Penny’s hairpiece has more followers than you!”
Mark did his best to burn Papa Penny with the following: “I am not sure how you made it onto this panel, I can’t wait to not understand a word you are saying!”
Joey cut to the bone when he quipped: “AKA’s biggest hit is when Black Coffee smacked his manager!”
Moshe took no prisoners, taking multiple swipes when he 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!!”
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!”, whilst Pearl threw thick mud saying: “Moonchild, to be fair, without that hair you are just Ntsiki Mazwai!”
The Comedy Central Roast of AKA will premiere on Monday, 11 March at 21:30 CAT and on Showmax on Tuesday, 12 March 2019.
