AKA confirms throwing a fan's phone over a balcony after having his pic taken without permission
Hip-hop star AKA found himself at the centre of a brewing scandal when a fan took to social media on Tuesday claiming that the rapper allegedly "threw" his friend's cellphone "into the crowd" over a "selfie" with Bonang.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday night in a string of spicy tweets, a user named Lahloza claimed that his friend was apparently in the VIP section of AKA's SuperMega show in Cape Town over the weekend when the incident allegedly happened.

The person went on to claim that the group went to look for the phone but it had been lost.

TMG Entertainment reached out to AKA about the allegations but his management said that he had no comment.
His management directed us to AKA's Twitter page, where the star had just admitted to throwing a phone over a balcony at the weekend, after someone apparently took a Snapchat picture of him without permission.
It is not clear whether his comments are related to the claims against him, with his management refusing to confirm the link.
In the angry rant, AKA recounted the experience and asked fans to "have some f*cking manners".
PLEASE NEVER PUT ME ON YOUR SNAPCHAT. I threw someone's phone off a balcony this past weekend for that shit. ASK FIRST.
