Riky Rick is really not here for Sizwe Dhlomo's slick mouth when it comes to the presenter passing judgement on the Mzansi rap industry.

Sizwe recently called AKA an "awful businessman," as if he could do better if he were in Supa Mega's shoes.

This really didn't sit well with Riky, who believes only those in the highly competitive Mzansi rap industry truly know its challenges.

Riky said it's best if Sizwe just stays in his lane and leaves rap commentary to the rappers.

During an Instagram Live chat with Da Les, Riky said, "For (Sizwe) to really get involved on that level..I see you're a commentator, but at the same time you're making money somewhere else, you're not making money in rap. So, stop coming for the rappers. If you love this culture, build this culture - but don't come for the rappers."

Riky made it clear he's not defending AKA, but protecting the Mzansi rap industry as a whole.

Sizwe Dhlomo called AKA an "awful businessperson" after it came to light that AKA had received no money for his sneaker collaboration with Reebok.

Today, Briefly.co.za reported that the pair has since promised to moer each other on sight.
