Award-winning musician Nameless is the latest Kenyan celebrity to face the heat of roast masters in the 10-part series of the Kenyan comedy TV show Roast House.
In this episode, Nameless is joined by his wife Wahu (who earns praise from the comedians at the expense of her husband) and friend Bien from Sauti Sol, who joins the roast masters to take a swing at Nameless.
Below are some of the hilarious jokes sparked on Nameless by the roast masters on the latest episode;
On being in the industry for a long time

On his music

“Nameless has lived a privileged life…the only thing he’s struggled with his entire life is music.” – Bashir Halaiki
