Apparently, the road is too packed for someone as famous as AKA to be shot, with nobody being able to identify the perpetrators.

“Who knew that someone would be killed on a Florida road? The popular and busiest road in Durban? And just like that, someone was shot dead."

The South African reports that DJ Tira's revelation came after Cassper Nyovest beefed up security. AKA's assassination and his friend DJ Sumbody's shooting reminded him of the unforeseen unsafe circumstances Mzansi artists face.

Mufasa said even though DJ Sumbody's death is the main reason for getting protection, the chances of getting robbed also scare him.

“I also need to remember who I am; I am Cassper Nyovest. I am not just some normal guy who can just walk around freely. I would love to live like that, walk round the streets and not be recognised, but I am not that guy."
