But AKA told Sowetan yesterday that top of the list on who should roast him are Nomzamo Mbatha, Anatii, Itumeleng Khune, Derek Watts, Pearl Thusi and his mother Lynn Forbes.
“Nomzamo because she’s quick with her comebacks and has a lot of spunk in her. She’s still topic from the last roast,” said AKA. “Khune, the guy just knows how to make himself the butt of Twitter jokes, without even realising it.”
