AKA has taken to social media to share his opinion on being labelled "not black enough" by some people. The rapper feels that some Mzansi social media users want him to switch races when it suits them.

The star was recently called out on Twitter for not being vocal enough about the drama involving Clicks and the EFF following the controversial advert about black hair.

Supa Mega expressed that Mzansi is a "weird" country because on some days he is deemed "black enough" to speak about certain issues affecting black people in our country.

"Some days like today I’m black enough to speak out about issues. Other days I’m a coloured this and a coloured that. Weird f*ck*n’ country we living in."

The Fela In Versace hitmaker's post sparked a heated debate on his timeline. Tweeps took to his comment section and shared mixed reactions on his opinion.

@TBlacklantern commented:

"Coloured people wanna preserve their identity as being coloured so don't try and take it away from them by calling them black. Let them be, let them be coloured."

@Observer_201 wrote:

"You don’t have to be black to speak out against racism."

@Bonga37293873 said:

"The so-called coloured word to define as a race should be banned in SA. Mixed people in SA should identify as black."

@moo_venda wrote:

"Just be yourself Mega. Normally I attack you but today I'm on your side, you were provoked."

@RubuThulisa added:

"What’s important is what/who you think you are. Address issues you are comfortable with. Despite everything, no one should dictate who you are to other people."
