AKA may no longer be with us, but his music continues to travel far beyond South African borders. A video posted on 25 October 2026 by concert-goer Jason Noah captured a crowd in Dubai vibing to All Eyes on Me, the Supa Mega's celebrated 2014 anthem, with attendees dancing along to every word.
In the clip, Noah filmed the lively Dubai audience fully immersed in the track, offering a striking reminder of just how far the late rapper's legacy has stretched across the continent and beyond.
All Eyes on Me was released as part of AKA's critically acclaimed album LEVELS and quickly earned its place as one of the most important records to emerge from South African hip hop.
The song drew on the legacy of the late Brenda Fassie, sampling her track Ngiyakusaba and weaving together a nostalgic local soundscape with contemporary rap energy. The result was a collaboration that brought together Da L.E.S, JR, and Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, the latter of whom shared a well-documented public feud with AKA that was never resolved before the South African rapper was tragically killed in 2023.
