The SA hip hop awards took place last night in Johannesburg and as expected the ‘beef’ between AKA (Kiernan Forbes) and Cassper Nyovest (Refiloe Phoolo) took centre stage.
AKA was the bigger winner of the night, snatching four awards including the Best Male artist and Video of the Year however Twitter was more concerned with his comments towards Cassper Nyovest.
The rappers who are known rivals were seated close to each other at the event which took place at the Lyric theatre in Gold Reef city; a clear recipe for disaster.
The ‘beef’ between the two has been on-going for some time now, and judging from AKA’s reaction to Cassper’s offer to smoke the peace pipe last week, it is safe to say it is not about to end soon.
“Niggas talk s**t about you all year then can't say a word to you when they two seats away ....,” tweeted AKA along with a photo of the ‘Tsholofelo’ hit maker.
“I been chirping him all night. We don't need diss tracks, I'm right here and he star struck,” Forbes continued.
However despite the ‘congratulate’ rapper’s efforts to stir a reaction, Cassper chose to be the bigger man and ignore the endless taunts.
This did not put off the Twitterverse who enjoyed the whole debacle and decided to add their comments to the mix.
