AKA extends olive branch to Thando Thabethe after fiery interview
Meanwhile Briefly News reported that AKA took to social media to address the awkward interview he recently had with Thando Thabethe on 947FM.

“I’ve been seeing a lot of whoo ha on social media about our interview on Friday For the record I just wanna say that @thando_thabethe has always been in my corner from the start, even through everything that has happened this year."
