Masego in firing line over Israel

Masego has become the latest musician to come under fire for alleged pro-Israeli views‚ after performing in the country.

Masego drew sharp criticism over the weekend when he posted a picture of himself with a saxophone next to a caption about Israel and a location tag from Israeli city Tel Aviv.

The caption read‚ “Imma Israelite. I ain’t black no more”‚ a line from Kendrick Lamar’s single YAH.

The star’s Instagram Stories documented his journey in the country over the weekend and his comments brought massive backlash on social media from fans who threatened to boycott his music over the decision.

Many claimed he was alienating his local fanbase.

The Trap House Jazz pioneer, who earlier this year mentioned the possibility of a collaboration with AKA, has not responded to the backlash.

Black Coffee faced a similar backlash in April when he performed in the country.

He defended himself by saying he was not a political party and was just providing for his family.

AKA weighed in on the boycotts after that‚ explaining during an interview on YFM that he would do the same if the money was right.

“At the end of the day‚ I have a real life that I need to live. I have dreams and aspirations . I have a daughter and a family.

“R3m could change my whole circumstance. I am sorry‚ but in life there are times when it is every man for himself‚ whatever your political stance.”
