AKA to Burna - Apologize before you Perform In SA

Burna boy will be performing in South Africa in a few weeks and AKA is asking Burna Boy to give a personal apology for the things he said.

In a series of tweets in September, Burna Boy urged black foreigners living in SA to defend and protect themselves against xenophobic attacks. In a now deleted tweet, he also told AKA to beef up his security, before giving him the middle finger.

Burna according to the tweet, promised to never set foot in SA again until the government "wakes the f*ck up and really performs a miracle".

Just recently he was announced as part of the Africans Unite line-up to "unify all Africans and speak out against femicide". The event takes place in Pretoria on November 24.

As artists and event organizers, under the umbrella of Tshwane Entertainment Collective, this week slammed Burna Boy’s inclusion on the line-up, AKA took to Twitter to ask him to apologies.

The Fela in Versace star said SA took Burna Boy in before he reached these levels and challenged the Naija star to prove he is an “African giant by apologising. Meanwhile, Burna Boy has yet to respond to the request.

Ek se ... @burnaboy all we want is an apology. We know 🇿🇦 is not perfect. But we took you in as our own before you reached these levels. You say you are an AFRICAN GIANT, prove it.

This is not a joke. Mina I still want to go perform in Lagos and make it back safely to my family. Don’t you want the same for him? https://t.co/wCxEJqMCnI
