Love & Hip Hop South Africa (SA) is set to take MTV Africa by storm this Valentine’s month as the lives of some of South Africa’s most beloved Hip Hop artists are revealed. The global reality show franchise, known for showcasing the highs and lows of Hip Hop stardom, is set to premiere on February 27th at 21:30 PM CAT on MTV Africa, DStv Channel 130.
The 13-episode series promises to be nothing short of explosive as the local adaptation delves deep into the entertainment industry’s latest beef, drama, and gossip. The cast, led by Hip Hop recording artist and record producer Da L.E.S, award-winning Hip Hop star Gigi Lamayne, and Utatakho hit-maker Yanga Chief, will give viewers a front-row seat to their personal struggles, industry goals, achievements, and deepest temptations.
Joining them on this rollercoaster ride is Shane Eagle, a South African Music Award winner for Best Hip Hop Album in 2018, who will share some saucy secrets about his 12-year romance with artist and model Nicole ‘Nikki’ Swartz. Mayo hitmaker, Hip Hop culturalist and broadcaster DJ Speedsta, and Motswako First Lady, Fifi Cooper, add their names to the reality star cast. Sensational starlet Money Badoo and outspoken rapper, singer, and songwriter J Molley, who is never too shy to stir the pot with his opinions, also feature in the series.
Speaking about the series, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Paramount Africa, and Lead, BET International, Monde Twala said, “This is the most exciting front-row seat to the real lives of some of South Africa’s most talented Hip Hop stars making both local and international headlines. We are proud and excited to bring this global format to Africa. The Mzansi version of the popular Love & Hip Hop franchise will have viewers on the edge of their seats, and importantly become yet another Paramount Africa platform to export our talent internationally.”

Da L.E.S and Yanga will host events that light up Johannesburg’s summer, Gigi Lamayne and Money Badoo will catch up for a revealing business talk, and the storyline of the troublesome trio of DJ Speedsta, Yanga, and Da L.E.S will be revealed.
