While some people applauded celebrities like AKA and Minnie Dlamini getting involved in the politics of this country, not everyone was impressed with AKA's appearance at the ANC manifesto this past weekend.
Shortly after the rapper shared pictures of himself dressed in ANC regalia and rubbing shoulders with President Jacob Zuma, a full-blown political debate erupted on social media.
Some of AKA's followers called him out for attending the rally, even accusing him of campaigning for the ruling party because of the money.
Never one to shy away from a debate of any sort, the rapper reiterated his political stance with more than a few clap backs.
On doing it for the money:
AKA also tackled threats to boycott his music head-on. The rapper explained that if him interacting with the president of the country led to that, then "so be it."
Then things got personal when one follower told AKA that it was an open secret that the ANC pays celebrities well to attend their rallies.
AKA hit back asking the follower how much the ANC pays.
And then in true AKA style, he could not help but feel proud at the results of the political debate.
AKA campaigning for the ANC comes just two months after the rapper made it clear that he will not be performing at any DA or EFF events going forward. This led to the rapper and EFF leader Julius Malema getting into a heated debate on social media.
