“He’s a king, I always knew he was special” – Rapper, AKA hails Burna Boy over Grammy win amid diss

South African rapper, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, better known by his stage name, AKA has hailed Burna Boy for bagging his first Grammy award.

Recall that Burna Boy and AKA had previously fallen out with each other in 2019 when the xenophobic attack was on the rise.

Upon bagging the Grammy award, a Twitter user alerted AKA that Burna Boy has won the “Best Global Music Album” award at the Grammy.

This triggered the response of the South African star which sounded much favourable.

In AKA’s words:

“That’s crazy man. I always knew that guy was something special. What a King. Just because I decided to defend my country doesn’t mean I cant appreciate his greatness.”
