‘AKA TV’ fails to deliver for fans

Rapper has apologised for delays in launching his much-anticipated mobile app

STAR rapper AKA (Kiernan Jarryd Forbes) took to Twitter to apologise to subscribers to the app he launched this year.

He said he was working on creating a better experience.

“Apologies with the delay of new content on the #AKA TV app. I’m busy moving some things around in terms of the business model and on the technical side for a better all-round experience. In the meantime, there will be no amount coming off your account. Thanks”, he tweeted.

When the streaming channel was launched in May, it got off to a rocky start with technical challenges. The app, which is available at Google Play Store and Apple App Store, carries a monthly subscription R49.99. Subscribers will be treated to a host of content from the Jika hitmaker, who previously said that The Supa Mega

Show would include exclusive live performances like his recent AKA

Orchestra On The Square held at the Sun Arena in 2019, and exclusive new songs. He also said he would be interviewing his celebrity friends and let his fans see the things he’s often privy too.

Taking to Twitter at the time, AKA updated his fans on the status of the app. “Couple technical issues but please be patient, it’s Day 1. We’ll work hard to get everything 100% perfect. #AKATV”, he wrote.

His fans were not annoyed at the news.

Instead, they supported him, saying they would wait for as long as it took. Other fans posted pictures of the receipts of their subscription.
