MTV's Launches Lip Sync Battle Africa
Earlier today the good folks at MTV ( I say this because there was free food) invited a select group of journalists and me (apparently they think I'm important) to the launch of their new show Lip Sync Battle Africa at MultiChoice City in Randburg.
The show is a spin off of the popular American show of the same name sans the Africa where celebrities are invited to compete against each other in Lip Sync battles. It's like what we did at high school variety shows just with famous people really.
Episode 1 of the show featured Cassper Nyovest and his former beau Boity Thulo. After milling about for over an hour we were finally invited into a screening room where we shown the episode. Cassper delivered some hilarious performances including one that saw him applying alot more make up than he is used to, to pay homage to a fallen diva. But ultimately Boity utilised all her assets to win the day.
You can watch sole highlights from the day below and catch Lip Sync Battle on MTV every Thursday at 20:50. If you look closely you'll see my fat ass waddling into Robert Marawa's shot.
Early drop to make up for the missed week! The Twimbos are back with a fresh new episode, featuring frontline accounts from Nitefreak at Hinde, in-depth reports from Kigali, expert analysis of Sakhile Dube and Chidimma Adetshina's performances at Miss Universe, and shrewd diplomacy in their takes on the South African Mining standoff and El Salvador's gang prison. Enjoy!
