Rowdy beer-throwers leave AKA frothing

POPULAR rapper AKA took to social media to air his disappointment at rowdy fans who pelted him with full cans of beer and put his life at risk while he was performing at a music concert to celebrate the Day of Reconciliation holiday.

AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes, was the headline act at the “All White 80s Party” at Trimpak in Potchefstroom, North West, on Sunday. The show also had other prominent South African artists and entertainers, such as Nasty C, Destruction Boyz, Shane Eagle, Mlindo, DJ Maphorisa and many others.

Taking to his Twitter page in the early hours yesterday, the Fella in Versace hitmaker said he was “super hacked” by what some “excited” fans did, but said the show would go on, as he still had four gigs to attend to.
