Lemons (Lemonade)
Rapper AKA also celebrated the success of his single Lemons (Lemonade) with Nasty C, which was certified platinum less than three months after its release.
“We only getting started. Thank You Jesus Christ and God bless the MEGACY. You are the absolute best I could ever ask for. I love you,” the rapper wrote.
AKA said the song was about them being comfortable with where he and Nasty C are in their musical careers.
“For me it's not about, you know his verse is fantastic, but for me it's not really about that competitiveness any more, especially on a song like that. It's really about making the best art for the fans, and I think he really blessed me and I’m really thankful for that,” said AKA.
