Did you buy my album? Then no photo for you: AKA

Rapper AKA
Rapper AKA

Fans will not be allowed to take pictures with rapper AKA unless they have his album.

AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes, took to Twitter to set the record straight and make it clear that unless you can convince him that you have his album, he will not grant you the picture.

“If you don't buy the music and I deny you a photo ... I can't "lose" you as a fan ... you were never a fan to begin with.

“It's seems like there is some confusion so let me clear this up. IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT MY MUSIC BY BUYING IT, WE CANNOT TAKE A PHOTO. Ever,” he said.

He said that the only people who are exempt from his new photo rule were the elderly and kids.

“One of the Mahotella queens got me to sign a copy of LEVELS for her niece backstage at the metros ... So what is your excuse?

“Don't tell me you can't afford my music wearing new Jordans,” he added.

As usual, people responded saying that such behaviour will see his music go down the drain. He responded in kind.

“Don't offer me your "expert" advice on my career ... If you had the answers YOU would be ME. Just keep your mouth closed and listen.”

To his justification, AKA, whose girlfriend Dj Zinhle is pregnant, said that he is starting a new family and people who pirate his music are taking food from his table.

According to AKA, the new photo rules were inspired by a fan who asked for a photo and had no idea of what the name of his album is.

“This weekend this guy asked for a photo. I asked him what the name of my album was ... He said ... Congratulate ....

“You can't name the album that I spent 2 years making, invested countless hours, blood sweat and tears in? .. "I'm your biggest fan" my ass!”
