Enigmatic rapper K.O’s journey captured in eight-part TV series

BET will unveil a new reality series Inside Life with K.O, an eight-part series that is set to premiere on BET on October 18.

Inside Life with K.O is an intimate exploration of the life of the enigmatic star Ntokozo Mdluli, who is widely known by his stage name K.O.

For BET, this series represents an opportunity to continue to reshape the narratives surrounding Africa, amplify the stories of African heroes and elevate their global impact.

Monde Twala, senior vice-president and general manager Paramount Africa, and lead BET International, shared: “At BET, our mission is to celebrate and empower the voices that inspire change.

“Inside Life with K.O embodies this commitment as it brings to light the compelling journey of one of Africa’s musical legends.

“We are thrilled to partner with K.O on this project and provide a platform for him to share his remarkable story.”
 
K.O has made substantial contributions to the South African music industry over the past two decades. However, he believes that much of his true essence remains hidden from the public eye.

Said the rapper: “Most people know me for my music and businesses, they do not know my personal story.

“This show is a portal where people get to see my heart, see how my brain functions, and just get to understand me a little better, said K.O.
 
The series will not only delve into K.O’s life but willl also shine a spotlight on other key members of the Skhanda Gawd’s squad including Loki Tunez, ROIII, Tsholo, and Gobbs.

Each member’s unique story and journey will be explored in captivating story arcs throughout the series.
 
Ndlelenhle Nyuswa, widely known as Loki, is a Durban-born talent whose musical journey started with online interactions and a deep passion for music.

He was discovered by K.O, and his story is a testament to the power of mentorship.
 
Ofentse Moagi, aka ROIII, a 21-year-old Motswako rapper, signed with Skhanda World in September 2020.

Despite a turbulent upbringing, his talent has shone through, leading to collaborations with renowned artists such as Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, and Focalistic.
 
At the core of K.O’s operations are Tsholo and Gobbs.

Tsholo, K.O’s artist manager and DJ, is responsible for the artist’s affairs and bookings, while Gobbs, a skilled sound engineer, ensures the label’s live performances are always exceptional.
