More about:

RNW Africa producer, Ikenna Azuike, presents "What's Up Africa" (WUA): a weekly entertainment video blog on what's hip, creative and making the news in Africa. Ikenna is on the look out for Africa's innovators and cultural creatives so be sure to get in touch via Twitter or Facebook if you have a hot tip.

WUA is Africa's response to Ray William Johnson.

Told through an African lens, WUA is Europe's first video blog focussed on a lighthearted, fresh and critical look at goings on in west, east and southern Africa. Tune in every Friday to watch a new episode!

What's Up this week: If you can't beat them, don't pay them! While Ikenna makes it big in Nollywood, a soccer superstar receives an award for a musical collaboration!
