MTV Africa recently announced that the first African franchise of the popular show “Love & Hip Hop” would be coming to South Africa and now they’ve finally revealed the cast. Featuring on the show is going to be award winning rapper Gigi Lamayne alongside a bevy of South African Hip Hop talent.
Love & Hip Hop is known for showcasing Hip Hop stars juggling their careers, relationships and family dynamics. The global Hip Hop reality show features some of the most prominent Hip Hop artists as they unveil the ins and outs of the music industry. This time, South African artists are in the spotlight with Love & Hip Hop SA set to premiere 27 February on MTV Africa (DStv Channel 130) at 9:30pm CAT.
The premier season is set to feature 13-episodes, allowing viewers to see first-hand how these SA Hip Hop superstars tackle issues in their personal and professional lives. In a statement MTV Africa stated that the show will hold nothing back, and if the other franchises are anything to go by then fans are set for an entertaining rollercoaster.
The local adaptation of the globally recognised reality show franchise will hold nothing back to bring the 411 on the latest in entertainment, and industry beef and drama.
Alongside Gigi Lamayne will be Da L.E.S, Shane Eagle, Fifi Cooper, Yanga Chief, Money Baddo, DJ Speedsta and J Molley.
When asked about what people should expect Gigi Lamayne highlighted the Gigi Lamayne vs Fifi Cooper discourse that has often been brought up in SA Hip Hop conversations.
There’s a lot to look forward to. A highlight for me was confronting the Gigi Lamayne versus Fifi Cooper situation that has been looming for the longest time within South African Hip Hop when it comes to female rappers. Apart from that, I have been a staunch follower of the franchise for the longest time, and I always imagined myself to be on the show, so I am very excited for this experience.
