Aka tweeted;
“I mean, right now I’m #1 on every chart, every playlist and station … if I can pay for all of that shit, surely you have R100 to spare.
“There is no point having an album anymore. A totally nonsensical concept in this country. Just make songs. Shoot videos. You don’t need the stress or the headache.
“*sigh* this will not be the last time I go off about this that’s for sure … it’s just frustrating having people steal from you and not be able to do anything about it.
“The model is broken man. Fucking broken. Next time I rate I sell my album to a brand and give it all away for free … then we can all win.
“We need a resolution to this issue. What’s the problem? Is data too expensive? … how do we fix this ?
“To the people who buy and support local artists, like damn … aren’t you pissed you spent money on music that people steal without flinching???
However, AKA has apologised for his outburst. He wrote;
“I’m sorry to rant like this and stuff, but this shit got me tight. Downloading my album is literally STEALING FOOD OUT OF MY DAUGHTERS MOUTH. Literally. We work super super hard to give you this music.”
“Shit is so messed up that people will download your shit for free off the internet and tell you … ey, bro … I’m your biggest fan.
“Piracy is wack yo. I work for 2/3 years straight, I make a classic … you download it, you steal from me then you get upset when I tell you to go f*** yourself when you ask me for a picture.”
Also if you show me “Touch My Blood” on your phone and it says f****** fleximp3 or whatever, BEST BELIEVE IM TAKING YOUR F****** PHONE BRUV!!!!!!! Steal my music, I’ll steal your phone bitch!!!!!
