There were speculations that certain celebs' lifestyles aren't what they presented to the public, and AKA was a victim of these allegations.

In a 2018 video posted by Twitter (X) user ThisIsColbert, AKA addressed the allegations his former business partner, Prince Nyembe made about them not doing so well, with the rapper saying he had never struggled financially.

Prince was AKA's partner at Beam Group, who was also rumoured to have used the rapper's money to gift him a Rolex watch.

"I've never struggled for money, ever, can you guys think of a time when I was struggling for money? Who is your source of information?

"I've been straight for many years, before Beam Group. I was the South African male artist of the year in 2012."

Meanwhile, some netizens claimed that AKA was avoiding Sabby's question by being confrontational:

RenzYung recalled:

"Prince sat here with Sabby when Beam was just starting out, and said the money wasn’t there. That’s what Sabby was referring to."

lesomo_sunny asked:

"So, are we gonna pretend that the guy was never kicked out of Oskido's townhouse and didn't have money for rent? That's why he had to crash on Da LES' couch."

injaivukile called AKA out:

"I won't lie, this dude was annoying at times. This was a perfectly fine question, he just didn't want to answer them because it made him and his partner seem unprofessional and clueless; which they were, that's why Beam tanked."
