    5years later I’m back here………Let’s be honest 90% rappers come here with written practiced verses and the fact that AKA didn’t mind pulling up his phone that’s just legendary

    • @pearlicanbiyela5194
      @pearlicanbiyela5194 Рік тому +5

      Calm down, there is nothing legendary about pulling out lyrics on a platform of freestyle. What you may consider legendary is the fact that he redeemed himself.

      If anything, it shows being unprepared. Or disrespect to the platform. But it's also brave to be real and show up how you are. Which i commend him on. Yes, he's good, but it's ignorant to Applaud unpreparedness.

    I watched this interview years ago when it just dropped but I had to come back and watch it again and it’s still so so unreal watching AKA like how can someone so full of life just be gone just like that this sucks and my heart is still aching. He was a real one may R.I.P Mega you’ll never be forgotten❤️💔😢

  • @taylortsimong4090

    Leave AKA alone, he's too good! I respect someone who is not ashamed of where they come from and their culture, you can aspire to achieve certain things in life but the minute you want to be someone you are lost, you can only be yourself. I think AKA represented us South Africans very well. You are the legend in the making, and we'll look back to this interview one day. You did a great job! And thanks Sway for giving this young man a platform, much appreciated.

    😢 No one has a right to take a life yet they do it anyway. Everyone has a right to live and life yet they take a gun and take yours anyway. Why? Just coz they decide so? This is so heartbreaking, for AKA’s light to be switched off by someone who has no right to switch it off. May God open our eyes, this life is not ours. Everyone needs Salvation. May you receive Christ as your Lord and saviour, coz this world has no heart anymore. Rest in Legacy Megacy. You did it. You represented SA and Africa so we’ll. You showed everyone here at home how far music can take you, how to create business as a musician. May those ruthless people, those who did it and those who paid them to do it be found and May God avenge you.

    This is, arguably, South Africa's best rapper (not the first dude, no hate). We call him the Supa Mega, ladies and gents I give on Sway in the Morning, AKA. (from the continent of Africa)

    Nice to see AKA after Cassper Nyovest. If its still South Africa, im from Ghana, but you can do Nasty C from South Africa too, and then E.L , M.anifest, Medikal and Sarkodie from Ghana, then Wizkid, Africa's biggest from Nigeria. Love the show!
