TV/radio show host Toke Makinwa and popular comedienne Chigurl are the latest celebrities to feature on reality contest, Lip Sync Battle Africa.
The duo will clash in a sizzling on-screen confrontation in front of millions of TV viewers across Africa, dissing each other in comic mockery.
After lip syncing (or miming) to two songs of their choice, just one of them will lift the Lip Sync Battle trophy.
Commenting on his appearance in the upcoming episode, Toke said “II have always been a huge fan of Lip Sync Battle; my favorite episode so far has to be with Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. When I heard it was coming to Africa I was pretty excited, and then I got the call and I got even more excited. I have practiced day and night and I’m so ready to take Chigurl down. I’ve got this, she’s no competition, it’s on like Donkey Kong!”
Responding, Chigurl said ““My fans know that mimicking is my thing, so trust me on this one because you know as usual I’ll be bringing my ‘mar-kate’ on Lip Sync Battle Africa and it won’t be a ‘Weist’. Toke: get ready to be chewed up and spat out.”
The African version of the global TV hit, Lip Sync Battle Africa is hosted by South African actress and TV presenter Pearl Thusi, alongside Nigerian superstar, D’Banj.
Viewers can also be part of the #LSBChallenge by uploading their own personal lip sync of D’banj’s “Emergency”, Davido’s “The Sound,” and Yemi Alade’s “Johnny” on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #LSBChallenge.
Episode 3 of Lip Sync Battle Africa airs on MTV Base on Saturday, May 14, at 18:00 WAT.
