Burna Boy and AKA's love-hate relationship
Damini, who regrets not ending his beef with AKA before he died, was once featured in Mega's hit, All Eyes On Me.
He performed the hit song at the DStv festival, attended by over 100K people after the pair fought on Twitter during the 2020 xenophobic attacks.
Tweeps react to Burna Boy's suspected shade at AKA
Some South Africans were disgusted by the African Giant's comment, which they believed was directed at Bhova, and this is what was said:
@leendiwe cut ties:
"I think he is and that is such a low blow. Yuh, hai he can miss me. Doesn't need me anyway cause he has 100k isn't it?"
@KnownAs_Teetee pointed out:
"I blame DSTV Delicious, gave him a false impression about South Africans now tickets are not ticketing."
@Mawose_ predicted:
"I'm glad he said this with his chest. His local following will most likely act shocked, disgusted and all - but will buy those tickets STILL."
@BarbPlug weighed in:
"Personally, I feel like it was because of what he did after AKA passed on, genuinely speaking, its too early for people to host someone after he made our loss a small thing."
@BelindaMac9973 explained:
"Who else? Apparently those tickets are not selling."
@Madithame said:
"He is out of his mind now."
@Ah_kim__ commented:
"He's a fool mehn. Disgracing himself."
