Rea Gopane claims AKA is sabotaging his career: “He has done every mistake possible to ruin his brand”

In more entertainment news, Briefly News reported that if there is one thing about popular podcaster Rea Gopane, he will speak his mind despite the consequences that may follow. The young YouTuber made headlines when he was slapped with a defamation of character lawsuit by Bonang Matheba over claims that she introduced AKA to drugs.

Many would think the young media personality would refrain from mentioning people's names after what happened with Queen B, but he is dropping more bombs.

In a viral video, Rea Gopane took aim at rapper AKA saying he is ruining his career with his actions. He said AKA has been on a self-destruction path, and if he continues, he may lose everything, ZAlebs reports.
