He buttressed his statement by making reference to how AKA ranted on social media when South Africa lost to Nigeria in the 2019 Nations Cup.

There’s really no need for the back and forth
As public figures we should always recognize the strength our platforms carry! I have no agenda or narrative to push
I’m just deeply hurt and that’s that! https://t.co/E0kKdA3fVt— ZAHEER! (@iam_YCee) September 3, 2019

YCEE And Tentik are the MVP today. YCEE boldly dragged AKA with his chest, Tentik spoke on it. If you don’t love their energy, you’re the problem
