Social media remembers AKA
@DebbySimon69 reacted:
It's sad. 😔 💔. It's a huge loss. So, the rapper AKA is de@d? South Africa has become American."
@iamqarnayn commented:
"How do they take down their best shows? How cold are these people? The year they gunned down Lucky Dube is still fresh in my head, like it was yesterday. Now AKA? No."
@rosellemayy said:
"This is so so painful. I've always heard of South Africa being a very rough and violent place to live, but I never thought it was this bad. Damn."
@DangeloPhilip responded:
"How do South Africans sleep at night, knowing that they're using their own hands to destroy every good that comes out of them? Are these folks normal, like normal humans, or are they just zombies without senses?☹️."
@figxres replied:
"AKA was preparing for his birthday celebration, only to get shot and is now dead. RIP legend."
@Moniq2023 said:
"AKA’s death is revenge, but nobody is ready for that topic."
