MTV was in town last Sunday and hosted a “Wild ‘N Out” pop-up activation at none other than the Furious Styles Barbershop located in Midtown. It’s one of Atlanta’s trendiest barbershops and hundreds of the guests made sure to arrive promptly for their chance to crack jokes and win some prizes.
The co-hosts that were on deck for the event were “Wild ‘N Out” veteran Chico Bean and also tv/radio personality and rapper Yung Joc. The attendees took full advantage of what the event had to offer by participating in a variety of comedy games such as “What You Got,” “Yo Mama Jokes,” “Hood Jeopardy,” “Trap Karaoke,” “Truth or Dare” and “Freestyle Battles.” The winners took home cash prizes, “Wild ‘N Out” merchandise and the freestyle battle champions won $1,000 big ones.
As the event went on, popular comedians that go by the name of Karlous Miller and Shawty, which have both made appearances on the hit show, came to join in on all of the fun. Other celebrity guests included the comedians Ronnie Jordan, Darren Brand, Tyler Chronicles, Fat Man Ron, rapper Ca$h from TK-N-Cash and barber/”Ghost Brothers” cast member Marcus Harvey.
This event was apart of the current “Wild N’ Out” tour that features planned visits to barbershops in New York City and also Atlanta. The goal is to provide “an interactive pop-up experience, that will give fans a taste of the ‘Wild ‘N Out’ excitement they’ve grown to love with celebrity hosts, live music, freestyle battles, ‘yo mama’ contests and cash prizes.” The next upcoming date will be July 23rd in New York City.
The show airs Thursdays at 11/10c on MTV
