BREAKING: Burna Boy Reveals How He Settled Rift With Late AKA Through Twitter DMs

Afrobeats star Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has spoken about his relationship with the late South African rapper AKA.

The two artistes had a public fallout in 2019 after Burna Boy threatened to “deal” with AKA if they ever crossed paths.

The dispute reportedly stemmed from comments and reactions surrounding xenophobic tensions in South Africa, after AKA allegedly encouraged attacks against Nigerians. This followed the rapper sharing screenshots of hateful messages he claimed to have received from Nigerian accounts during AFCON quarterfinal match banter.

Burna Boy has now disclosed that they resolved their differences before AKA’s death.

In a posthumous birthday tribute shared on his Instagram page, Burna Boy expressed sadness that AKA passed away before they could reconnect fully and work on planned collaborations.

He wrote:

“Happy birthday Supa Mega. We fell out over bullsh*t even though we squashed it over Twitter DMs nobody knew about. We never got the chance to really link up and do what we were supposed to do. I will regret that until I see you again. Until then, R.I.P Mega.”
