Pearl Thusi unveiled as roast master

Pearl Thusi has been unveiled as the roast master of The Comedy Central Roast of AKA. She is known for dishing out shade with boldness and will thus drive the panel of ten roasters when AKA takes the hot seat.

She becomes Comedy Central’s first female roast master in Africa.

“I’m very excited to be the Roast Master and to work with Comedy Central for the first time. To be the first female Roast Master in Africa and first black woman globally is a great achievement.”

Pearl also had a message for AKA.

“To AKA – we’ve talked a lot of mess on Twitter and in private, but now we’re going to settle this in front of the world, with no one to protect you. This is deeper than rap beef. It will be on stage and to your face. I honestly can’t wait. Oh, and I won’t be alone as I’ve got a team of roasters with me. So poetic. Just remember: Composure, Composure!”

The roast will happen on the 21st of February at the Teatro at Montecasino.
