The Megacy was left in a state of disbelief after a decade-old image resurfaced, showing a classic AKA project sitting in a bargain bin.

Following recent reports that one of his plaques was being sold on Facebook Marketplace, an X (formerly Twitter) post from October 2016 resurfaced, showing a picture of a physical copy of Levels (Unlocked), the 2015 repackaged edition of the late rapper's album, being sold for just R10 from its original price of R129.99.

The author of the post cheekily threw shade at AKA's polarising character, claiming that the marked-down price for his music was "karma" for his infamous arrogance and frequent social media wars.

At the time, the rapper was at the height of his "Supa Mega" era, frequently dominating headlines not just for his chart-topping hits but also for his unfiltered opinions and public feuds with industry rivals, including his infamous beef with Cassper Nyovest.

Levels (Unlocked) was released to celebrate the success of the original project and to provide fans with more content to appreciate the creative process behind it. It included a CD and DVD combo, featuring documentaries about the story behind the album, as well as the songs that made the project a success, such as Sim Dope and Congratulate.

A decade later, and three years after the rapper's untimely passing, the "karma" post serves as a bittersweet and nostalgic reference to how life used to be. And while the original poster admitted to buying the marked-down album, the post now highlights a time when the biggest "problem" fans had with AKA was his spicy social media presence rather than his absence.
