AKA and Burna Boy were once besties, working on the hit tracks All Eyes on Me and Baddest together.
But things took a turn for the worse in 2019 when Burna Boy urged black foreigners in SA to protect themselves against the xenophobic attacks and alleged discrimination in the country at the time. He also told AKA, in a now-deleted tweet, to “beef up” his security.
AKA called out Burna Boy and asked for an apology.
AKA has since tried to downplay the feud, telling a fan last year that their tweet about the beef was better left in 2019.
Last year AKA backed Burna Boy after he was mocked for losing out on a Grammy in the same category.
“I never hated Burna Boy. All I did was stand up for my country. I think it’s time to move past this narrative. It’s tired. Like I said, even a nomination is a huge achievement,” he said.
