Shame man! AKA’s dreams of being an 'Idols' judge dashed

AKA is dismayed at never having had the opportunity to be an 'Idols SA' judge.

This as Shirley Adonisi, director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net, confirmed the show was ending after 21 years.

"After 18 successful seasons, Mzansi Magic and M-Net Local Entertainment Channels confirm the decision to give Idols SA its final curtain call.

"The international-format talent-search competition has been a stage of opportunities where many careers were launched and we would like to thank the crew, on-air talent and sponsors for their contribution to its success over the years. We look forward to an epic final season and will continue to secure and produce the best content, which Mzansi Magic viewers have come to enjoy,” she said.

Having been a judge on Vuzu TV's Masters of Rhythm and The Hustle, AKA said he had hoped to add the singing competition to his resume as it had always been his dream.

"I should have been a judge on Idols SA *sigh* ... I always wanted that," he wrote. 

"Masters of Rhythm, The Hustle ... Idols ... that would have been nice."
