- AKA was one of the most loved rappers in the country, appreciated for his music and sense of humour
- Another key attribute about the Company hitmaker was his authenticity which was always at the forefront whenever he was involved in an online scuffle
- Fans recently brought up an old tweet by the rapper where he shaded a Twitter (X) user about not honouring Nipsey Hussle after his brutal killing
AKA's music and sense of humour often took the spotlight but it was his realness that many fans appreciated most. In 2019, the rapper had an interaction with a Twitter (X) about not commemorating Nipsey Hussle, to which AKA asked if HHP was ever honoured.
Fans brought up the tweet that has immersed thousands of interactions as followers couldn't help but laugh at the hilarious interaction.
AKA honours HHP amid Twitter shade
In a Twitter (X) post dating back to April 2019, X user dirtysaints threw shade at AKA for not saying anything about Nipsey Hussle.
The Los Angeles rapper was assassinated on 31 March 2019 and received an outpour of love from all around the world. It appears the X user was puzzled as to why AKA had not honoured him.
"AKA never said anything about Nipsey hustle."Though he was not tagged, the post made it to AKA's timeline and received a spicy clap back:
"Did Snoop say anything about HHP?"HHP died from suicide on 24 October 2018 and has been honoured with tributes since his untimely demise, some as recent as his 43rd birthday.
The men had worked together on several occasions and the tweet, though comedic, showed the respect AKA had for the late rapper as well as his loyalty to South African hip hop.
