The internet was in a huff on Wednesday when a post was circulated claiming that AKA and Kelly Khumalo were among a string of stars set to perform at a EFF #FillUpOrlandoStadium music concert.

The concert caused so much confusion because:

1. AKA has suggested in the past that he will no longer perform at EFF events because he is a member of the ANC.

2. Imagine AKA playing at a gig called #FillUpOrlandoStadium. You can hear the roars of haters pointing out that his arch nemesis Cassper Nyovest did it first, with the exact same name.

3. Kelly walked out off the last EFF rally after her performance was interrupted by chants of Senzo and calls for justice in his murder case. So she might not be keen to return to the party's rallies so soon.

True to his word, AKA responded to the post by publicly declining the invite.

Fans were divided over the decision, and even questioned the wisdom of the political party putting both the rapper and Kelly on the bill. 

But the confusion was eventually cleared when CIC Julius Malema rolled onto Twitter to explain that the concert is not happening.

He slammed the show as fake news and

He said that any claims the concert was happening was "rubbish" and said they did not have such a lineup.
