Rapper AKA and actors Chris Pratt and Adam Sandler got “slimed” as they picked up their Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday.
The South African star, real name Kiernan Forbes, was nominated in the “Favourite SA Star” category alongside Kagiso Rabada, Somizi Mhlongo, Nomzamo Mbatha and Siya Kolisi, and bagged the prize, making him the first African rapper to win a Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice award.
Taking to social media over the weekend, the Fela in Versace hitmaker dedicated the award to his daughter Kairo, who was unable to join him due to visa issues.
Pratt won the “Favourite Butt-Kicker”, for his role in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and as he spoke of how much of an “honour” it was to have been shortlisted, his speech was interrupted as he was showered with green goo.

Meanwhile, Sandler won the final award of the night, Favourite Male Voice from an Animated Movie, for his work on Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. His co-star, Selena Gomez, scooped the female equivalent.
The trio weren’t the only stars to get showered with slime. Favourite Social Star winner David Dobrik shared a goopy hug with friend Josh Peck.
Will Smith got splattered as he introduced new footage from his Aladdin movie.
The night’s host, DJ Khaled, who also won Favourite Collaboration for No Brainer with Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, and Quavo, was also covered with goo.
