@philtherealsa1 said:

“Yhoo... super awkward, but Thando shouldn't have touched that topic. AKA was right... it is an incident to us but a real life to him.”

@mefika1 said:

“Someone tell AKA to go hide for 10 years, then come back.”

@katli_mathule said:

“AKA wena you must tell us what happened that morning in Cape Town, whatever happens in the dark must come to light bru.”

@lindelwaSD said:

“Was the interview about AKA's life or his new album? We need to understand that these are real people, with real lives. We can't use their tragic experiences for entertainment every chance we get. I would have responded the same way. There's no need to be kind to unkind people.”

Meanwhile, Briefly News reported that AKA took to social media on Wednesday, 8 September and shared a statement regarding The Braai Show. The former host of the show wished the new programme and its presenter Cassper Nyovest success for Season 2, which premiered this Wednesday evening on SABC 1.

In the statement, the star also mentioned how his business partners betrayed him and hired a new presenter behind his back. The star shared that he would continue fighting for what is his. He believes that he was exploited of his "creative vision."

In the statement posted on Twitter, Supa Mega wished his arch-rival Mufasa, who is the new host of the show, more success. AKA ended his statement:

"I wish continual success for 'The Braai Show' and its host for Season 2. After all is said and done, it's just business."
