This show aims to find young adults that would wow the world with the talent they posses. While every episode of the show is a surprise to the viewers and judges because of the different forms talents are expressed, one of the most shocking performance this season has to be the comedy performed by a duo comedians.
Stand up comedies are usually shocking because of how bold they come of us and their seeming disrespect or disregard for sensitive issues. After being wowed by so many dance and vocal talents, the judges did not expect to be at the receiving end of negativity till these comedians performed.
Participants are usually eager to please the judges and be on their good side to move forward in the competition. What makes this the most shocking performance is that these contestants did not fish for favours from the judges, but rather threw shades at one of the judges in their performance.
Liquorose the BBN S6 first runner up went through a public fall out with Emanuel who she booed up with while in the house. Despite the passage of time, it is no news that hurt has no time limit and her breakup might have still been sensitive, yet these comedians made a joke out of it.
They decided it would be funny to make a joke out of a relationship she was yet to heal over, they spoke about how God gave her a man and mentioned Emmanuel. Their joke might have been funny, if it was not at the expense of the judge’s feelings.
Liquorose angered by their comments walked out, this reaction is very unusual for a judge, but considering how unexpected this joke was, her reaction was understandable. She came back it and seemed to have processed the whole situation neutrally. Despite her cool composure with the situation, throwing a diss at the judges is one of the most shocking performance that has happened in De9ja spirit talent hunt.
