YOUNGSTACTP REACTS ANGRILY TO AKA

YoungstaCPT and AKA are both internationally acclaimed rappers, but they had much more in common than their celebrity status. Both hail from the notorious Cape Flats and have had to survive the streets without getting caught up in the social ‘trends’ of the Flats.

The duo forged a close bond over the years and even collaborated on a song “Main Ou’s” in 2019.

YoungstaCPT has been silent since the news broke of AKA’s passing, but on Monday he posted a heartfelt tribute to his late friend, saying he’ll see him again.

“You were always there watching me. I pray Allah watches over you & grants you eternal paradise. Shukran for your presence. I make duah the almighty puts peace into the hearts of your family. Tibz too.

Allah knows best.

See you on the other side”
