A Zimbabwean comedian was served a legal notice on stage after making a joke about the opening lyrics of *The Lion King* song “Circle of Life.”

Learnmore Jonasi, whose real name is Learnmore Mwanyenyeka, is being sued by singer and composer Lebohang Morake, who performed the song’s iconic opening vocals.

Morake is seeking $27 million in damages over comments Jonasi made on the One54 podcast, where he joked that the Zulu lyrics “Nants’ingonyama bagithi Baba” translate to: “Look, there’s a lion. Oh my god!”
