Former Isidingo star Maurice Paige, who was at the show, expressed disgust at how insensitive the comedian was. He noted the comedian failed to realise that he was joking about AKA being murdered on his emotional memorial service day. He said:

"I couldn’t believe he made an AKA joke about his death while most people were mourning the death of Super Mega. Did this comedian also not know that he was in the hometown of AKA while he made this bad joke?"

Paige reportedly stormed out of the show and burst into tears. He urged comedians to stop making insensitive jokes, especially with how AKA was murdered. He added:

"That’s my brother you making these jokes of. The man died last week and it's his memorial today. Don’t you have respect? I know comedians want to use what is relevant at that time, but not something about the way AKA was taken out. Man, that’s just too sensitive."
