EFF leader Julius Malema pledged his support for Burna Boy, saying no mascot can stop him from performing in SA.
Trying to calm things down, AKA called a truce. Earlier this month, he took to Twitter to ask Burna Boy to apologise.
AKA said SA took Burna Boy in “before he reached these levels”, and challenged him to prove he is an “African giant” by apologising. “All we want is an apology. We know SA 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,” said AKA.
AKA added that he was willing to swallow his pride, and asked if Burna Boy was willing to do the same.“We must resolutely oppose regionalism led by political illiterates,” he said.No apology from the BoyIn a series of tweets, he thanked Malema, saying he looks forward to meeting him.He said xenophobia was real in SA and that being South African doesn't make one more important than any other African.
