Biography
Raheem graduated from Mission College, where he hosted his own radio show, Raheem's Nubian Sunrise Jammy Jam, which combined Black Pride with prank calls and vegan pie-throwing contests.
On his first day on the show, he refused to take part in a live advert spot for Oh My Goshage it's Krusty Brand Sausage!. He refused to eat them and ended up arguing with Krusty over it, and ended up with the clown's head tied up in sausage casing.
He refused to be hit with a hammer, be fired out of a cannon, wear anything in his hear and dress up like an infant for a "Li'l Krusty" sketch. Instead he spent most of the broadcast silently judging Krusty and occasionally reading poems, quoting Cornel West or holding up signs such as "Africans Invented Civilization".
One week after he started at the show, he threw Krusty through his Clown Car and quit the show. According to Krusty, while on Dutch television, Raheem read a poem to him about a new generation of slaves, which reminded Krusty of a joke about slavery. However, its also believed that Krusty spiked Raheems soup with bacon, or Krusty tried a "yo mama" joke. Once resigning, Krusty got violent and tried to hit Raheem with a oversized toothpaste tube, before trying to drunkly run him over with the Jokewagon, his Clown Car. He missed and hit a giant Easter Island totem with his own head on.
