AKA pours heart out in new album

Top rapper tells of Bonang break-up

- By KYLE ZEEMAN Touch My Blood Daddy Issues II:

AKA has once again opened up about his relationsh­ip with his ex Bonang Matheba‚ claiming that he “sacrificed everything” to make their relationsh­ip work.

The pair split at the end of 2017 and is something that AKA has spoken about in his music since.

Shortly after releasing his latest album that makes a boat-load of references to his former relationsh­ip‚ the Supa Mega told Slikour that the romance took its toll on his baby mama and his relationsh­ip with his mom.

“Now that I am out of the relationsh­ip‚ I can now big her [DJ Zinhle] up for being a great mom and being an amazing woman. My mom‚ our relationsh­ip was obviously strained for obvious reasons but when I say‚ ‘when I left my baby mama I thought you were my soulmate’‚ I f***ng sacrificed everything. There is no guarantees in life but if you let go of the s**t I let go of and throw yourself 100% in‚ you figure ‘we’re going all the way‚ right’ but life doesn’t work like that.”

AKA said that he played a big part in the guilt and destructio­n that came with the “saga” that saw him leave his baby mama for a new relationsh­ip.

“I just want people to understand that I fully know and what I was putting on the line and maybe now I understand what I kind of [thing I] didn’t appreciate when I had it.”

The rapper recently singing on the song “every single situation that we face feels like Déjà vu. My n***er don’t ever ever love a woman more than she loves you. All my n***ers telling me that life goes on.”

The rapper said he decided to dish the details on his life because it was therapeuti­c.

“I lived it. I think the definition of an artist‚ to me‚ is someone who can be vulnerable and honest. They open themselves to anything. At the end of the day‚ my music has to be a reflection of my life and it just so happens that my life is under a microscope.” — served files‚
