This came after the three words “Africa is bleeding” had been hogging the headlines and socials. Feeling he couldn’t sit back and watch, the rapper took to Twitter to speak out about the brutality African people had recently faced..

Mufasa started his tweet with a plea to his followers to raise awareness about police brutality against protesters fighting to #EndSARS in Nigeria. He also touched on the SA’s #AMINext movement that aims to bring awareness to the issues of femicide and gender-based violence.

Calling Africa a “bloodbath”, Cass also touched on the gruesome killings of Congolese and claimed the leaders of the continent had failed “us”.
