AKA and EFF's Julius Malema go head-to-head regards Boycott

After AKA's revelation that he will no longer be performing at any events organised by DA and EFF parties, various heads in the opposing parties have comeout to air their views about it. The Rapper and Baddest hitmaker revealed that he supports the African National Congress and will feel a hypocrite showing support to the opposing side.

I've turned down every request of the DA to perform at their events. I've even performed at 2 EFF parties. https://t.co/kLpAdueoQi

Mbuyiseni Ndlozi came out strongly against AKA’s decision to boycott all DA and EFF events going forward.

Through a string of tweets the rapper also revealed his political stance.

“"The ANC is faaaaar from perfect, but I firmly believe it's the only political party with the credentials and policies to lead our country."

The People's Bae responds to AKA's EFF boycott 

This did not sit well with Mbuyiseni, who lashed out at AKA's comments, claiming that he was neglecting fans within the EFF.

Mbuyiseni said that artists like AKA should not be choosing sides.

"I hav no problem with @akaworldwide membership of ANC. I support the right to affiliate. But why boycott EFF when many fighters buy yo music," he said.

In reply, AKA said  "If my constitutional right to openly declare my political affiliation is considered an act of aggression. So be it,"

I for one support all our artists, despite their political affiliation @akaworldwide, all political leaders should.

Imagine if those artists who used their art to fight against apartheid were told

"Shut up, focus to your music"

Nonke: put some respect on the rights for our artists to express themselves, even if not favorable to us in leadership
