Why do you think South Africans don’t win awards internationally?! It’s because of this, we are so divided. It’s always “Team Aka/Cassper” never Team South Africa. Look at how these Nigerian artists are United in attacking Aka. You’ll never see such unity in SA
Story Temple Tells@NollywoodBossNigerians have Team Wizkid and Team Davido, but when it comes to external issues, we unite.
Having healthy competition internally aint harmful, the problem is the hate, why hate your fellow black man?

In other news, we reported that Afro-fusion star, Burna Boy, promised to attack South African rapper, AKA, for his comments on the xenophobia. Burna also dragged Nigerian star, MI, for defending AKA. The Ye crooner also explained that the alleged terrible videos he saw from the attack in SA broke his heart as he called on Nigerians to protect themselves at all times.
