Afro-jazz artiste Adomaa starts the show off on a soulful note (0:44) and the Roommates are loving it! We find out more about the multi-talented songbird and her breakout onto the Ghanaian music scene (1:50). The Roommates play a game with their guest - Top of the deck to you! (4:45) - and guess who has people sliding into her DMs on the regular? #StarsBeLike (6:15)
Kess updates the ladies on the release of 82 Chibok girls, three years after their kidnapping. “We do not negotiate with terrorists” -- or do we (9:00)? The ladies discuss the need for psychosocial rehabilitation for the rescued girls (11:15) and people’s calls for a holiday to celebrate their release. Happy Chibok Day! -- wait, for whom (14:12)? Adomaa wonders if we shouldn’t be worrying about an imminent threat to national security (15:03). Hold up -- did you say a bomb threat in Abuja (16:08)? Someone show Vee the nearest exit!
Cel takes us down south to Rwanda, where 35-year old newcomer, Diane Shima Rwigara, is contesting the presidency against longtime leader Paul Kagame (16:55) -- yay for African millennials (18:10)! But there’s a plot twist -- and it’s straight out of Scandal [cue shutter sound effect] (19:25). Is that you, Shonda Rhimes? Is any publicity good publicity…even in conservative African societies? (20:30) And how good were those nudes (21:11)? What makes for a good nude? We. Want. Answers. Vee serves some random deeps on nudity (23:07) and ‘fesses up on some very memorable nudes she swapped with an ex (23:54). Naughty! Oh, and would Adomaa take and share nudes? Asking for a friend. coughs.
Vee comes across a couple of heavy stories on social media (31:30) and sparks a conversation on trashy men. The Roommates dig up an old tweet in which Adomaa insists that #MenAreTrash (37:24) and the TOR sleuths set about uncovering the backstory to this tweet. Where are you, Untrashy Men? Send us your GPS coordinates! (40:02)
