It’s been almost four years to the day since the filming of the Comedy Central Roast of AKA, and there’s a line from Super Mega himself that South Africans are still reeling over…

And the timing is bittersweet after his death just over a week ago.

Hosted by his close pal Pearl Thusi, the 2019 show amused South Africans with its hilarious jokes and burns. 

The show featured the likes of a star-studded panel, including Nina Hastie, Moshe Ndiki, Davido, Joesy Rasdien, Mark Fish, Papa Penny, and more.

AKA DELIVERS POIGNANT LINE DURING ROAST

In a clip that has been revisited in the last week since AKA’s death, the hitmaker himself is seen addressing the audience and panel of the Comedy Central Roast.

He says jokingly: “Imagine a South Africa without AKA? What a terrible place”.

Taking a swipe at his rap rival Cassper Nyovest, AKA added: “All you have is some wierd guy dancing with a bottle, forcing people to come to his shows.”

“The truth is, you all f**king love me”.

Growing sentimental, the hitmaker thanked his legion of fans, friends, and family.

“Thank you for putting up with my sh*t,” he added.

RIKY RICK ALSO MADE AN APPEARANCE

During the same show, another fallen music icon, Riky Rick, also made an appearance.

The rapper and producer was seen seated in the audience while comedian Jason Goliath fired shots at him in a pre-show roast.

Jason teasingly said to the star – who tragically ended his life a year ago – “I didnt even recognise you. You’re dressed in a car guard uniform made by Gucci.”
