In light of the xenophobic events of the past few days, Nigerian artiste, YCee has called out South African rapper AKA.
While condemning the acts of violence against Nigerians, YCee called out AKA for the statements he had made on Twitter.
There is this subtle dislike that a lot of them (If not all) feel towards Nigerians and no matter how hard they try to hide it .. it eventually jumps out – like when AKA had a full childish grown man tantrum when they lost to Nigeria in the nations cup

YCee was apparently referring to the xenophobic rhetoric AKA was spewing after South Africa lost to Nigeria in a football match.
AKA tried to dispel the accusation by posting a photo with a Nigerian flag

But YCee was not buying it

This led to an exchange that did not go so well for AKA. Nigerians lashed out at him for being the face of xenophobia and subtly permeating harmful stereotypes.
The entire exchange can be searched and viewed on Twitter. YCee then ended the argument by saying:
Bro if you refuse to see the underlying implications of what you tweeted
There’s really no need for the back and forth
As public figures we should always recognize the strength our platforms carry! I have no agenda or narrative to push
I’m just deeply hurt and that’s that! https://t.co/E0kKdA3fVt— ZAHEER! (@iam_YCee) September 3, 2019
