SOUTH AFRICAN RAPPER ‘AKA’ GOES ON A TWITTER RANT, RECOUNTING HIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT WALE’S CONCERT

American Rapper, Wale had a show in South Africa a couple of years back and South African Award Winning Rapper, AKA had to open for Wale. Things did not go as planned and AKA bailed out at the last minute because he was mistreated by the Organizers. AKA is known for speaking out quite often on how Local artist are being mistreated when opening for International acts. Fast forward a couple of years Later, AKA took to Twitter to recount the details on why he bailed out of the Wale Concert. We are quoting what he posted:

“Anyways… I promised you the WALE story so here we go ….We were booked to perform before Wale in CPT, full band, at the quarry or whatever ….We land, firstly they are late to pick us up from the airport … No stress I’m still in a good mood. We get to some nonsense hotel, my 1st question is … (Me being ME) … Is Wale staying here too?!?! ?The rooms aren’t ready, the hotel is wack, they aren’t even picking up our calls for us to complain ??? Fast forward to 5pm, I’ve made myself comfy. I’m watching the United game … A call comes out the blue … WE NEED YOU AT THE VENUE NOW!!! I say, fuck this, I’m going to finish the game and this steak I just ordered …. THEN I’ll make my way to your venue punk asses!!! Eventually after being ignored all day, we’re rushed to the venue. When we get there, they start shouting at us like we’re they’re kids. Now we must set up immediately!!! I’m like, where was all this urgency when we needed you?!?! These Castle Lite (or whatever company/promoter) people start screaming at us how we’ll never be booked for Castle Lite again ??? Long story short … I told them to go fuck themselves, called the band back and bounced. They had to turn that lil boat around. ?It was a big deal to do something like that to a brand like that at that time. Nobody fucked with me again.”
