Mnet, the producers of Big Brother Africa, has announced that the September 6 launch of the reality TV series will also feature up and coming African sensation K’Naan.

The Somali born, Canadian based musician has won global attention for fusing hip hop, rap and reggae with poetic insight and a keen sense of timing. It’s no wonder then that his breakout album The Dusty Foot Philosopher has become an international hit.

Following on from his debut success, his second album Troubadour, released earlier this year, has seen him build on a reputation for talent and powerful lyrics. Now African fans across the continent will see the star in action, right on the Big Brother stage, singing his hit Wavin’ Flag.
