If reincarnation was a concept you did not hold much stock in, a look at Jub Jub and how he morphed into a reality TV superstar with his scandalous Uyajola 9/9 show should convince you otherwise.
It’s as if South Africa completely forgot what the man was imprisoned for. Much of this, though, can be attributed to the way in which Jub Jub rebranded.
After releasing a gospel song, pleading for forgiveness for mowing over four schoolchildren nine years ago, the renowned rapper turned to reality TV for salvation.
What is Uyajola 9/9 all about?
You can say what you want about Uyajola 9/9 but boy, is it entertaining. People will pay anything for a dose of salacious content and with the Moja Love TV show offering that weekly, it’s quite the time to be alive.
Uyajola 9/9 is South Africa’s version of Cheaters. Jub Jub and friends terrorise people in broken relationships, all the while shoving cameras in their faces for our amusement.
On a serious note, it must be an unnerving experience to live through and one can’t imagine the psychological carnage that this brings but Multichoice sure isn’t complaining.
The advertising bill keeps stretching, more lives get ruined and people love it. It is great business.
Jub Jub takes Uyajola 9/9 to the top of DStv rankings
According to Sunday World, Jub Jub has risen to the top of the coveted DStv viewership ranking, on his show’s sophomore season.
Based on viewership data recently released, Sunday’s episode of Uyajola 9/9 catapulted Jub Jub to the top of the rankings with 2.5 million households tuned into what was quite an amazing episode.
What happened in the last episode?
A woman found out, rather, unfortunately, that her boyfriend was, in fact, batting for the other team. In ebonics, he was on the down-low and of course, something this outrageous contributed towards the success of the show on Sunday.
Gomora, Date My Family and The Queen will have to come up with spicier scripts if they have any chance of dethroning Jub Jub and his cohorts.
