This week’s popular Lip Sync Battle Africa witnesses a battle to the death between two of the most infamous DJs on the continent – Naija’s DJ Xclusive, and South Africa’s DJ Sbu!
DJ Xclusive uses his first performance to illustrate why he’s a global phenomenon, while DJ Sbu attempts to romance the audience with an old school classic.
Hectic second round smack-downs
