Roast House episode 4: The most brutal jokes from the roast of Nameless
In Roast House episode 4, award-winning musician Nameless is the latest Kenyan celebrity to face the heat of roastmasters. For 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 roastmasters to take a swing at Nameless.

See below the 10 most brutal jokes from Roast House episode 4.
On being in the industry for a long time
“I’m not saying Nameless is old, I’m just saying he had his first hit when Moi was president.” – John Ribia
“I would have loved to have in Sol Generation man, you have the soul but you don’t have the generation.” – Bien
“How do you feel being roasted by Michael Bolton, but also being old enough to understand the reference.” – Darren Collins

On his signature durag
“There are two things Kenyans will never see – money from Eurobond and Nameless’ hairline.” – John Ribia
“Nameless has won the durag for so long that within that time, it went out of fashion and came back.” – Bashir Halaiki
On his music
“There are some other things he should also see a doctor about, they’re also in your lyrics. Nasinzia nikikuwaza…those are the early onset signs of dementia.” John Ribia
“Nameless makes music like someone who’s just learned to spell.” – Maina Murumba
“Nameless has lived a privileged life…the only thing he’s struggled with his entire life is music.” – Bashir Halaiki

“It makes sense why Wahu has such strong shoulders. It’s because she’s been carrying your music career on her back her whole life.” – Amandeep Jagde
On his dreadlocks
“Nameless’ head represents his career. Like it’s going but there are those three dreadlocks that won’t let go but no one wants to tell him.” – Ty Ngachira
