WATCH | See what AKA says about that high five with Cassper Nyovest at the soccer game

AKA

Cape Town – AKA and Cassper Nyovest, two of South Africa’s rap heavyweights, are known to have a longstanding rivalry between them. Over the years, the two artists have not been afraid of aiming digs at each other on social media, and during their live performances.

However, a clip was posted to Twitter of the two artists giving each other a high five during an exhibition football match that took place earlier this year, leading many fans to ask whether AKA and Nyovest have officially buried the hatchet.

Speaking on L-Tido’s podcast, AKA said he and Nyovest have not kissed and made up, saying that the two were simply on the same football team for the day and put all their differences aside.

“Why do you guys want us to be friends so bad? When you are playing soccer with someone in your team, bear in mind he wasn’t supposed to be in your team. He wasn’t supposed to be playing that day when they released the name, but anyway he was there. That’s fine.

“If we are on the same team and we are playing for hip-hop, if we are hip-hop dog united and he scores a goal and I’m on the same team as him, yo we are playing soccer and all that other sh*t gets left off the field,” AKA said.

The two were playing in Big Zulu’s Celebrity soccer games.

Nyovest will be facing it off against Big Zulu in a boxing match in December this year.
