So I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed AKA 's tendency of staring isht up on twitter- if not with artists, with industry peeps and then just after doing so, he starts promoting his projects.
Last night for example he tweet pic'd what seemed to be an image of tv personality Bujy rocking a similar hair do as Cassper Nyovest with the caption "I'm Shebeleza" (as see below) . Everyone including those who live under a rock know that Bujy is openly gay and I'm sorry, but that could possibly be interpreted in many negative ways.
There's actually a word in the dictionary to describe AKA's Uhm "strategy " and that is "Gimmick ", it must be working for Mr Forbes since Congradulate clung to the number one spot on iTunes for approximately nine weeks straight. Don't get me wrong the song is pretty dope but controversy assists the hype.
One would wonder if it's fair to do such at the expense of other rappers. Shouldn't rappers be supporting each other to help grow the industry, through healthy competition or is there no such thing as healthy competition when it comes to hip hop?! Or are they also in on it and this is not only AKA's strategy?!, it's just he put his hand in the cookie jar first while others are/were still snoozing?! .
I can only speculate because I'm just a fan who probably wouldn't be given the time of day if I asked...and quite frankly I'm ok with that.
