Rest In Power AKA 10 February 2023. South Africa will never be the same again. We lost the GOAT of Hip Hop in South Africa and Africa as a whole. 😭🙏🇿🇦

[@m.o.b.5011]

For sure!!

[@chrisjanthato3932]

Long live to the Megacy

[@mystique6176]

😭🙏🇿🇦...I feel you bru

[@chelseababe]

I’m still so heartbroken 💔💔 My heart just can’t take that he’s really gone. This one really hit hard😢😢😢 Farewell to the greatest rapper in SA🇿🇦👑👑❤️❤️

[@masixolebatyi5314]

Never be the same

[@obakengotlwaetse3440]

I had to come back of to pay homage to this legend, Rest in power AKA!

[@aviwemangcotywa9107]

This man remains insanely inspiring LONG LIVE SUPA MEGA LIVE LONG❤

[@LindoGenius]

Instead of feeling pain for his passing I feel proud. This guy has done it all 🇿🇦

[@zibuyilegumede6367]

i love how aka did his very best to promote south Africa and Africa in its whole, he's a true ambassador

[@luphelele]

Eish, South Africa has lost a representative who genuinely believed in it's people and culture. A global visionary. What an untimely finality. Rest well AKA

[@iskaykabeya609]

South Africa lost Steve Biko and OR Tambo, not them demons in the music industry who sold their souls to Roman Catholic Church's illuminati for fame.

[@JoyDirtbag]

#RIP AKA "Kiernan Forbes".... S.A hip hop will never be the same without this man. A TRUE SOUTH AFRICAN ICON!!

[@chrisjanthato3932]

SOUTH AFRICANS, Please mark the register here..Rest In Peace to SupaMega AKA!!

[@kingsmv25]

5years later I’m back here………Let’s be honest 90% rappers come here with written practiced verses and the fact that AKA didn’t mind pulling up his phone that’s just legendary

[@pearlicanbiyela5194]

Calm down, there is nothing legendary about pulling out lyrics on a platform of freestyle. What you may consider legendary is the fact that he redeemed himself.

[@chrisjanthato3932]

True, even Nasty C was reading on the phone, you can check it..

[@Mnarethegamer]

Respect the legend his no more 😭🕊️

[@depthwithmrsirmpho]

If anything, it shows being unprepared. Or disrespect to the platform. But it's also brave to be real and show up how you are. Which i commend him on. Yes, he's good, but it's ignorant to Applaud unpreparedness.

[@abelmikandu2750]

He's not a hyena, he's a LION🔥...RIP king , greatest to ever do it🙏

[@b.o.t.ch.]

You will be missed Super Mega🕊🕊

[@winstonpatrick9963]

Rest In Eternal Peace AKA🕊 The Greatest African Rapper of All Time🐐🇿🇦

[@dr.jacobbelinga1613]

Rest in peace AKA may your soul rest in deep peace. We will forever miss you my friend. 🙏🏽

[@soniqonline]

Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, AKA, Supa Mega - The greatest African rapper of all time! Rest In Power 🙏🏽

[@angelinaoliver5587]

I watched this interview years ago when it just dropped but I had to come back and watch it again and it’s still so so unreal watching AKA like how can someone so full of life just be gone just like that this sucks and my heart is still aching. He was a real one may R.I.P Mega you’ll never be forgotten❤️💔😢

[@taylortsimong4090]

Leave AKA alone, he's too good! I respect someone who is not ashamed of where they come from and their culture, you can aspire to achieve certain things in life but the minute you want to be someone you are lost, you can only be yourself. I think AKA represented us South Africans very well. You are the legend in the making, and we'll look back to this interview one day. You did a great job! And thanks Sway for giving this young man a platform, much appreciated. #Peaceout

[@dennisobserves3486]

wait, did you ever saw AKA passing away, cos your comment was kinda prophetic

[@adrekleintjes5697]

You represented us Coloured people well. Proud and sad at the same time. Rest in peace. 🇿🇦🙏🇿🇦

[@xolanibuthelezi193]

He represented is SOUTH AFRICANS well

[@InfoHubZA]

You're super drunk.

[@solanidulini9606]

I so feel sorry for you ,I mean it's 2023 and you still there shame on you .....

[@TheRealBillidraws]

AKA is not where you are. You're about race he's about a bigger picture. Grow tf up!

[@iskaykabeya609]

There's no colored people, a white man has played you out. You are black that's all you are.

[@practicaltransformationwit1368]

"Yeah yeah, SupaMega I'm established " No truer words were ever spoken. Your void will be deeply felt. Crazy how i didn't even grasp just how talented you were until i realized you wouldnt be making music again. Thank you for everything forever SupaMega. Long live SupaMega, live long. You are now the missing piece to our jigsaw. You did good. Rest well🇿🇦❤

[@mornevandeklerk3388]

Aka was just an holistically rapper person ..he was observant but at the same time caring he was for being one as a country ...this guy was a legend his music spoke to us..

[@olajohnson6266]

He was very intelligent... He took over the show completely

[@miguelm9932]

I STILL LOVE THIS INTERVIEW. THE BEST INTERVIEW SO FAR COMING FROM AN AFRICAN ARTIST🚀🚀💯

[@wendymoloi8722]

[@Dorsilvaa]

I hate South Africa for killing my boy🙁😫😫 this will take a while to heal!

[@Reezy_Tha_Fundraiser]

Made South Africa proud,It was a good interview

[@tonnilrotonnirgrondsisoltti]

you should listen fool what was mention..

[@phindawande]

I just wanted to point out that the description text says South American instead of South African please fix this as this was an artist of a generation and this video is an archive piece that future generations will watch let us be gentle in making sure that it is represented in an honest manner.

[@alicemasemola2319]

😢 No one has a right to take a life yet they do it anyway. Everyone has a right to live and life yet they take a gun and take yours anyway. Why? Just coz they decide so? This is so heartbreaking, for AKA’s light to be switched off by someone who has no right to switch it off. May God open our eyes, this life is not ours. Everyone needs Salvation. May you receive Christ as your Lord and saviour, coz this world has no heart anymore. Rest in Legacy Megacy. You did it. You represented SA and Africa so we’ll. You showed everyone here at home how far music can take you, how to create business as a musician. May those ruthless people, those who did it and those who paid them to do it be found and May God avenge you.

[@akhonamatshoba6917]

you represented well Boo. So proud and I'm glad you got to sit in that seat and speak many South Africans truths. You glitched a little but nothing the SuperMega can't handle. So much Love ❤

[@GASUploads]

Rest in piece . 😭😭😭 Legend of SOUTH AFRICAN , OF AFRICA AS A WHOLE
