Majah Hype: Leaving Security Behind to Become the King of Caribbean Comedy

Send us Fan Mail

Before the viral characters and sold-out shows, Majah Hype was an electrician in New York with a secure job—and a decision to make.

We sit down with Majah Hype to explore his journey through music, DJing and comedy, the Caribbean upbringing that shaped his characters, and why he chose to walk away from steady employment to make people laugh.

From learning seven instruments to finding his footing on stage, we hear about the work behind the humour, his relationship with his father, and what representing the Caribbean means to him.

The conversation also addresses public allegations against him and his response.

CONTENT & EDITORIAL NOTE
This episode contains strong language and discussion of domestic abuse allegations and sexual content. Majah Hype denies the abuse allegations. We have not independently verified his statements about the final court outcome or the status of his record. His account should not be understood as establishing that the allegations were false.
