AKA Takes over DStv Instagram Account

The much-anticipated release date for ‘Chasing The Sun”, a five-part documentary about the Springboks journey long before the World Cup, until their crowning as World Champions under the leadership of Siya Kolisi and Rassie Erasmus. The series will air on M-Net DStv channel 101, from Sunday the 4th of October 2020, at 6 pm.

AKA announced on his Instagram yesterday that he will have the honour of taking over the Springboks Instagram channel for the next four weeks to talk about Rugby and the making of the Chasing The Sun documentary.

AKA is a known sports enthusiast and patriot, it is no surprise that he would be the one to host our boys in green & gold. AKA will have a different guest every week and his first guest last night was Lukhanyo Am, the cool, calm and collected Springbok centre.

Gareth Whitaker, the co-executive producer of the documentary stressed the need to be authentic while making the film and was honoured to be part of the project while describing it as the greatest privilege of his life. He promised authenticity and rare insight into the Bok squad as they journeyed to the World Cup tournament.

Africa is a source of many great stories and it is our duty to tell these stories,” said Gideon Khobane, SuperSport chief executive and co-executive producer for “Chasing the Sun”. “It was a gamble making the decision so long in advance to film the team, but we bought into their vision and believed in their ambition. Their victory was a far better story than any scriptwriter could have dared imagine.

Supa Mega has been a busy man off-late, just recently he announced that he is ready to bless the country with his Bhovamania album. In a tweet, AKA said the project is complete and he just needs a release date. AKA even released a tracklist of the EP, which caught the interest of Tweeps because there is a track that seems like is dedicated to his long-time rival Cassper Nyovest.

“The project is complete. Mixed. Mastered. Everything. All that I need now is our release date,”

As much as fans were happy that Supa Mega would be the one hosting this Chasing The Sun series on Instagram, many were more interested in him actually announcing the release date for his album.

AKA back in Cape town Mitchells Plain, “Home sweet home”

AKA took to his social media a few hours ago to reveal he is back. The star have been moving around since the relaxation of the lockdown to level 1. Supa Mega scooped photos of himself with Nelli on a date, they also went on shopping, as Nelli scooped photos of Gucci shopping bags.

The post indicates that he has finally had time for the love of his life after being away from each other for a while. Since the rapper finished working on his upcoming EP, Bhovamania, he’s got much time for himself and his girlfriend but now he is back home and it looks like he would have the whole time to himself.

He captioned: “Home sweet home”

AKA hits back at Cassper’s claim he is scared to fight him in the ring

In Twitter war number “we’ve all lost count at this point” AKA has hit back at claims he’s scared to get into the boxing ring with Cassper Nyovest.

On Monday, Cassper threw shade at AKA when he told a fan the pair would host their boxing match at The Dome just so the other dude would know how it feels to fill up a venue.

Like clockwork, it only took AKA a few minutes to catch that subtweet from his rival and he had load of subtweets ready to hit back as well.

We’ve broken it down for your reading pleasure …

First things first, the Mega just wanted to make it clear that he felt that Cass tweeting about the fight was done because he has an album to promote.

“I understand people have albums to promote and stuff but confusing the fans is something that I don’t think should be part of the process.”

I understand people have albums to promote and stuff but confusing the fans is something that I don’t think should be part of the process. As you were. ??

— AKA (@akaworldwide) September 21, 2020

Second, the Mega wants y’all to know, there will be no fight happening in 2020!

“If people are really this eager it would have happened by now. Still no signed contract. Nothing. JUST TALK. Come on. F**k outta here. The fight is happening in 2020 but training is starting today? Come on. Let’s get serious here.

“If the fight was going to happen this year there would be a signed contract by now. There is no such thing and the date is September 21st. Use your heads. There is not even a sponsor or a venue confirmed. Seriously”.

Third, the Touch My Blood rapper made sure the people on the streets didn’t think he was chickening away from the fight.

He even tweeted the contract that Cassper is yet to sign …

Here it is. Sitting … collecting dust. https://t.co/SvvJuLsoWl pic.twitter.com/pJGix962Ot

— AKA (@akaworldwide) September 21, 2020

Fourth, AKA basically said that he’s got “more important things to do” before the fight.

“Your project has dropped … you took your sweet time. Now let me get my project out as well. I waited and waited and waited. Now I need to deliver what I promised the Megacy. Simple and plain.”

And finally …

The rapper made it clear that he’s not going to suddenly jump because Cassper is now ready to take him on in the ring. Not after he chased after him for so long anyway …

Your project has dropped … you took your sweet time. Now let me get my project out as well. I waited and waited and waited. Now I need to deliver what I promised the Megacy. Simple and plain. ??

— AKA (@akaworldwide) September 21, 2020

So strange how he can let those insults slide for MONTHS then wake up one day and start talking tough. Now we must all jump … classic. https://t.co/cHX714qxtp

— AKA (@akaworldwide) September 21, 2020

Now please … no more talk about this supposed “fight” until 2021 … thanks ??

— AKA (@akaworldwide) September 21, 2020

After giving AKA the space to properly vent, Cassper then replied to the Mega directly, letting him know that his people will call his people so they can finally do the things that will make the fight to be done … in 2021!

Okay then …

Let's get the paperwork done and get a date. I'm very eager tough guy!!! Tlee will be in contact with your people tomorrow!!! Let's get it done!!! https://t.co/ggaX18Mkih

Xhosa rapper Ifani shades AKA about his dead career

It seems AKA and Ifani’s beef is far from being over, as the Xhosa rapper has decided to shade the rapper again. This time Ifani, decided to take a dig at AKA on Twitter, by telling him that he has resurrected from death.

The rappers had the social media streets buzzing a few years back when AKA shaded Ifani’s album saying it reached gold status because Redds bought 2000 copies. The two exchanged some lit tweets dissing each other, and in an interview with Hellen Hirimbi on i(m)bali AKA described iFani as a “Rubbish artist”.

In a tweet the Xhosa rapper who recently bagged a travel and lifestyle television show Amah Kows Best SA bragged by saying he will have 1 million followers soon because he is back on screen. Ifani decided to shade AKA and tweeted an image of a man walking saying, “Let me go tell AKA. I’m back from DEAD,”

He later tweeted and said “Eish, I forgot my mask, with the person walking back, but fans have warned him that AKA will clap back and knowing AKA, his clap backs are lethal.

Let me go tell AKA
I'm back from the DEAD ? pic.twitter.com/NZVhAd1TFs

— iFani (@iFani_Haymani) September 21, 2020

It is no secret that Ifani was once of the country’s most famous rappers but he fell of the radar. Speaking to Slikour recently the rapper said quitting music left those around him a tad disappointed

“I have disappointed a lot of people, my entire family is disappointed in me. I have disappointed my fans, I have disappointed my baby mommas, I have two now, they don’t want to see me. And the main thing they talk about is ‘why aren’t you working? Why are you chilling at home. There I am chilling at home, doing nothing.

“For that disappointment I want to say I am sorry. My career was supposed to blossom. Take Xhosa to overseas, I had dreams but all of a sudden I said No,” he said.
The rapper revealed to Tshisalive that he left the music scene because he wanted to rest because he had been working hard

“I’ve been at home, in Nelson Mandela Bay. I haven’t been on these entertainment streets. I haven’t been doing TV things or music things. But I have been making music here and there – although I’ll admit that most of the time I was just doing nothing, being a beach bum,” stated.

“I left because I honestly felt like I needed some time to myself, not in a clichéd way, but in a way that came from me thinking … I have been hard at work and for a long time, when am I ever gonna rest?

The rapper said he did not stop making music but he just stopped doing interviews and just being in the entertainment industry space.

Trouble In Paradise As AKA Begs Bae Nelli Tembe For Forgiveness

AKA recently showed off his new bae since he split for the second time with his baby mama, Zinhle. It appears the rapper is smitten over his new girlfriend, Nelli Tembe.

Mega, who’s been showing her off through his social media will do whatever it takes to stay in her good books. Well, that’s how it looks from where we’re sitting.

AKA calls for alcohol ban to be lifted as he hits hard times

AKA has again spoken out on the economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, explaining that he has a team who rely on him for financial support.

The star recently joined the #SaveMyLivelihood trend on Twitter, which details many South Africans’ struggles in the midst of the pandemic and nationwide lockdown.

In his post AKA said that he had a team working for him and any lost gigs affected not only him, but the entire team.

“I have a team of people who rely on me. I can’t perform, I can’t sell my product and I can’t tour.”

He acknowledged that he is “privileged”, despite his struggles.

“While I might be privileged, the same cannot be said for so many artists and start-ups in this country who have gone for 5 months without income,” he added.

AKA’s comments come as he continues to call for an end to the ban on alcohol sales, and advocates for the reopening of the economy.

“Alcohol is simply the scapegoat here for bad planning in terms of infrastructure to handle the pandemic.

“No doubt lives are important. What about livelihoods? The alcohol industry employs so many people and is so large that it makes up 4.4% of the GDP (look it up, it’s a FACT). You cannot simply switch that off without a plan and without warning,” he told fans last month.

He also warned that “jobs are going to be lost on a massive scale”.

“There is definitely a harmful side to alcohol abuse, no question about that. My question to you is what are the effects of losing close to a million jobs?”

Weighing in on possible relief for creatives through the department of sports, arts and culture, AKA suggested the amount he would potentially get in relief was not enough.

“I am not retrenched and I am not unemployed. I am trying to not retrench people and I am self-employed. You guys are not going to force me to be grateful for R2k from the government. It does not mean s**t to me,” he said.

What you didn’t know about AKA’s sweetheart Nelli Tembe

Rapper AKA is smitten over his girlfriend Nelli Thembe and she even has the rapper crossing his heart.

Supa Mega’s new bae is one of a kind and is quite the private person and little is known about her except that she has the rapper crossing his heart.

The 21-year-old is the first person, AKA has dated in a long time that isn’t a celebrity, well since 2008. The rapper has previously been linked to Mzansi’s hottest ladies such as DJ Zinhle and Bonang Matheba and following his breakup with the mother of his child, eyes were on him to see who would be his next love interest.

Not a chance. She’s VERY private. First non celebrity I’ve dated since uhm … 2008. https://t.co/dZuvSndaBO

— AKA (@akaworldwide) May 23, 2020

Nelli hails from Durban and she likes to maintain a low-profile, and just because she is dating a famous person doesn’t mean that’s about to change, she even has a private Instagram profile with less than 10k followers and for sure the requests must be plenty.

AKA is not the only famous person in Nelli’s circle, she is related to actress, singer and dancer Nondumiso Tembe, she is alleged to be the younger sister to the famous actress.

The couple spent Valentine’s Day weekend together in Cape Town and from the snaps he shared the two had quite a great time together.

She is also quite the support system to her man when he had COVID-19, she was right by his side helping him recover from the novel virus.
