Konan of Krept & Konan has gone viral after his disastrous appearance on BBC’s Weakest Link. Check it out below.
The episode, which aired on BBC One on April 12, saw Keith Duffy, Rachel Riley, Amy Gledhill, Ching He Huang, Rory Bremner, Bonnie Langford and Chris Harris compete alongside Konan to win a potential prize pot of £50,000 for their charity.
Now, almost two weeks after first appearing on TV, social media users have picked up on the episode due to what some have deemed a poor performance from the South London rapper.
Clips shared on X and TikTok show Konan being asked what fans are calling “easy” questions and getting them wrong. His unlucky streak began when host Romesh Ranganathan asked him: “What is eight divided by four?” to which Konan responded “four”, when the answer was actually two.
Then, he was asked when somebody might use the phrase “many happy returns”. He guessed Christmas, but it’s usually used on somebody’s birthday. Later, Konan was asked: “Someone who is referred to as bilingual can speak how many languages?”, to which he guessed “multiple”, when the correct answer is two.
After that round, the contestants were asked to vote for their “weakest link”, but when the camera panned to Konan, he accidentally said his own name instead of a competitor, leading a social media user to joke: “Bro nearly voted himself off.”
He’s since shared the footage on his TikTok page, alongside the caption: “The pressure made my mind go blank I promise you I know the answers.”

In other news, earlier this year, Krept & Konan released their third studio album ‘Young Kingz II’ – the sequel to their 2013 Guinness World Record-setting mixtape ‘Young Kingz’ and first independent album in 10 years.
In an interview with NME last November, Krept said the album feels like “a full circle moment” for the group.
“When we were independent, we released the project that changed our life. Now we’re back to being independent [over] 10 years after the original one came out and even the themes – the growth, reflecting on life, where we’re at now, losses, loved ones – [are the same]. This needs to be the sequel of ‘Young Kings’.”
Elsewhere, in February, they launched Saveways – the UK’s first large-scale supermarket tailored to the needs of Black, Asian, and ethnic communities.
