Papa Ajasco, the beloved Nigerian comedy series that debuted in 1996, is making a return. The show, known for resonating with Generation X and millennials, is being revamped for today’s youth under the new title Gen Z Papi. This updated version aims to engage a Gen Z audience.
The driving force behind Gen Z Papi is Wale Adenuga Jr, the son of the original show’s producer, Wale Adenuga Sr, who was responsible for the classic series. Wale Jr also holds the position of managing director at Wale Adenuga Productions.
This reincarnation of Papa Ajasco features a storyline involving an Afrobeats star named Gen Z Papi who is entangled in a feud with another artist, Emperor Agu. The dynamic is reminiscent of the rivalry between Wizkid and Davido. Mark your calendars for October 15, 2024, as Gen Z Papi will be streaming weekly on YouTube.
Reactions from Nigerians regarding Gen Z Papi include:
Is the reboot really needed?
Isn’t it time for Aunty Jenifa to have her space?
Shouldn’t Papa Ajasco just end it?
Some viewers are feeling hopeful.
Does Gen Z get a fair shake?
Maybe Netflix should reach out to Pa Ajasco?
Should we listen to this guy?
