JOHANNESBURG – While South Africans prepare to watch the first installment of Lip Sync Battle Africa this evening, one of the hosts, D’banj says he is just as excited.

The afrobeat singer will be in Johannesburg to shoot 13 half hour episodes this season alongside TV personality Pearl Thusi.

Former love birds Boity and Cassper Nyovest are expected to battle it out on tonight’s show.  

The Nigerian artist says the entertainment show is the perfect platform to show love to South Africa.

“Without a doubt I love South Africa, if there is a way where I can transcend and make people understand, is it a reality show? What do I do? So when the opportunity came I moved in. So after this I am just going to marry a South African.”

While the rest of the lineup has been kept under wraps he says viewers can expect a few surprises this season.

“We saw some great performances. You will see some actors you will want to feature after this. They are very good, I can’t mention names but I was blown away.”
