AKA urges parents to join Pretoria Girls High fight: 'I'd be at that school f***ing sh*t up right now'
The Baddest rapper added his voice to thousands of messages of support for the girls at the school, but said their parents should also be involved in their daughters' protests.
I commend the girls on their stance and their protest but come now .... The parents are the ones paying the fees. Support your children.

It's 12:14 .... Surely parents have started calling the school or showing up demanding answers ....

The outspoken rapper, who is a father to a one-year-old girl, admits that if it was his daughter who was involved in the protests, he would be at the school "f*cking sh*t up".
Man, if I was a parent and saw these videos of "security" threatening to arrest my daughter I'd be at that school fucking shit up right now.

AKA says he is amazed at the school's alleged stance on black girls not being allowed to wear their hair naturally, especially given the fact that we live in an African country.
"I don't understand. How can someone's natural hair be an issue? What can girls possibly do to change how their hair grows. Ridiculous. How can you ban an African girl from having African hair going to school in an African country? How does this make sense?" he asked.
The school was thrust into the spotlight this past weekend after students claimed that black pupils were not allowed to wear their hair naturally and were being told to straighten their hair.
Some parents were present when Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi met with students at the school on Monday morning, after more than 4 500 people signed a petition calling for his intervention.
