You’ll be seeing her and a lot of other African celebs on E! soon.
The TV network recently announced the launch of its first locally produced series – E! News Special which will profile African pop culture personalities including actors, models, socialites and sport stars. The aim of the special is to showcase the African talents and shine a light on the growing crop of celebrated African creatives.
The first to be showcased will be South African TV & radio personality, Bonang Matheba.
Speaking on the 12-part TV special, a representative of E! News Special said in a statement – “Each episode of E! News Special will chronicle the journey of a single personality‚ giving viewers unique insights into their lives through a mixture of exclusive interviews and other footage.“
So far a few South African personalities like rapper, AKA; actor/songwriter, Danny K; actress, Terry Pheto and model/TV host, Shasi Naidoo have been listed to be featured with more names to be released soon.
We wonder which Nigerians will be featured.

Toke Makinwa of course!!

Rubilicious, chill ooo abeg. NO SHE DOESNT. Genevieve nnaji, Omotola Ekehinde, Lisa Folawiyo, WizKid etc all deserve a feature… Toke hasn’t really done enough (body of work) to be featured. I know. Obsessively taking selfies whilst over-puckering your lips in a very awkward pose Is NOT A JOB.
