“Damn, it really sounds like y’all WANT COVID-19!!!! Y’all sound sooooo jealous of me. This shit is weird. Trust me, you don’t wanna do this. Stay safe!!! Stay indoors! Mkaay.
I’m going to document my recovery and you’re all going to watch because you’re a bunch of nosey bastards
Ok, sigh … I can’t keep it up any longer … it’s true … I have been paid …. 55 MILLION RAND to go public with my status by the WHO,” he said about the COVID-19 test result.
Recall we reported here first that the South African rapper on Friday 10th July 2020, took to his social media accounts to announce to the world that he has tested positive to the coronavirus. He posted this message telling his fans his coronavirus status:
“In an attempt to create awareness around the virus and to caution citizens to be more careful in their daily interactions with others. AKA has chosen to make his results public.
AKA pleads for everyone to adhere to social distancing guidelines, to wear masks and to hold stringent hygiene measures by frequently sanitising and washing our hands.
Since the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, AKA has taken precautions that were stipulated by the WHO and the SA government. COVID-19 has become a very real part of many lives in South Africa and AKA will, therefore, be sharing his recovery journey with everyone whilst in self-isolation as he aims to be as transparent as possible about his journey with COVID-19″ the statement said.
