The appreciation for entertainment rooted in Africa comes just one day after tweeps criticized local rapper A-Reece for speaking with an American accent. Mzansi rapper A-Reece recently had an interview with Slikour and fans were confused about his accent. It seems as though A-Reece has picked up an American accent and fans are beginning to ask why he speaks in this manner.
A Twitter user @Peakanythingjay posted a video of the interview and Mzansi social media users began to react to the video.
People in South Africa have different accents but some social media users are still floored at how A-Reece manages to have an American accent whilst living in Mzansi.
