Rapper AKA is under fire after his lengthy post on depression among South African men.
The rapper and his exes Bonang Matheba and DJ Zihle have been trending on Twitter following the rapper’s tribute to Riky Rick.
It all started when the Fela in Versace rapper took to Instagram to pay homage to his friend Riky Rick.
In his tribute, AKA highlighted the mental health crisis among South African men. He then urged men to do away with toxic masculinity and seek help.
He spoke about how depression among men stems from generational traumas. He said: “Generational trauma passed down to us. Ladies, we are not perfect by any means, but damn, we are crying out for your approval, your love and affection.”
AKA also encouraged people to go back to the family and Christian values. He also urged women to show kindness to men. “Ladies, we are not perfect by any means … but damn, we are crying out for your approval, your love and affection,” he wrote.
Social media users weighed in on AKA’s tribute, and many felt that the rapper is in no position to ask for compassion from women after the way he publicly treated his ex-girlfriends.
