Cape Town – South African hip-hop artist, AKA has hit back at rapper Cassper Nyovest, threatening to take legal action for being wrongfully portrayed as a brand ambassador for Cassper’s drink, Billiato Liqueur.

Cassper, who recently knocked out Priddy Ugly, in a celebrity boxing match may be looking for an opponent in AKA. However, the man from Cape Town won’t budge, as he responded to the photo in a calm, professional manner.
“The announcement is ill-considered and has and still continues to violate AKA’s rights to have his likeness and image protected by law,” AKA said in a press statement, denying that he is a brand ambassador for Cassper’s drink.
The statement revealed that AKA is also “exploring his legal options”.
