Who is going to be roasting AKA the Supa Mega?

Did you hear the one about the lady with the blue hair, the funny-guy and the man with the pineapple hairstyle who walked into a Roast?

We are counting the days until, well… #GrudgementDay. Here is the panel of who will be roasting AKA, and roasting him good!

Mark Fish may have made a bit of a “twit” of himself by accidentally announcing the passing of very much alive Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse, but who knows better than anyone how to defend and attack without “taking the bait”.

Teaming up with Mark is Nina Hastie, who has no filter when it comes to speaking her mind. This pint-sized stick of dynamite knows how to talk big.

“I would roast him on skipping leg day the most. His whole leg is ankle. Maybe that’s why he got a shoe sponsorship… Because having a whole leg as an ankle makes a shoe look very special,” said Nina.

In the perfect rock versus rap-off, Francois van Coke will take centre stage and drop the mic. Is he the bloke to get AKA to choke?

Papa Penny plans to strip AKA to bare bones in the upcoming Comedy Central Roast of AKA. The “bloke who can’t be broke”, Big Papa will certainly bring the rhythm to the night.

Always a delight on stage, comedian Joey Rasdien is going to make bunny chow out of AKA.

Joey Rasdien: “I’m super excited. To AKA I say: you went to Holy Cross Convent! Shame, that’s got to hurt. That’s tough. Maybe I can bring Bonang and Cassper Nyovest to join on the panel and then we’ll have a real bonfire.”

Moonchild Sanelly will bring plenty of heat. The Ghetto-funk and Gqom singer has even been recognised by the great Beyoncé on her track with DJ Maphorisa. Will she strip AKA down and expose the naked truth?

Davido is an international star of Afropop/Afrobeat. He has racked up numerous nominations and awards including BET Awards and MTV EMAs. How much will his presence unsettle the Supa Mega AKA?

Moshe Ndiki stands tall on stage and is a role model for all, but he still has enough fire to take on the Man – AKA.

Last but never least, Pierre Van Pletzen, also known as “Oubaas”, will fan the flames onto AKA when he hits the stage. We can’t wait.

To get into the spirit watch some of these deliciously brutal putdowns from British comedian Jimmy Carr at the Roast of Kenny Kunene.
