The Obituary of SA Hip-Hop: ‘AKA’ Gravesite Becomes a Public Confessional for a Whiny Fan
In a mind-boggling display of disrespect, a fan of late hip-hop star AKA (RIP) has taken his rant about the state of South African hip-hop to the mausoleum. Yes, you read that right. The masses have taken to social media to express their disgust at the grieving fan’s behavior, labeling it as just another desperate attempt to gather clout.
The video, which has gone viral, shows the fan meandering to AKA’s grave, declaring that the genre is dead and rotten. Because, apparently, lamenting the state of SA hip-hop requires the sacred space of a cemetery. The guy is fixated on how everything is terrible, from the music to the industry, and how nobody seems to care. How very sorry for himself.
Needless to say, the internet is serving up a plate of shade, with many calling out the fan’s antics as a faux pas. "Is this what we’re doing for clout now?" one user fumed. "Wtf is really going on?" another asked, as the comment section became a battleground for opinions on the matter.
The drama didn’t end there. The Twitterati was abuzz, with many more users chiming in to give the fan a piece of their mind. "This is wrong in so many ways," was a common refrain, alongside "How will the family feel?"
The debate rages on, leaving us to wonder: has the fan’s outpouring of passion been reduced to attention-seeking theatrics, or were his concerns genuinely-inspired? One thing’s for certain – SA hip-hop will continue to evolve, with or without the late AKA’s blessing.
