AKWARD Moment When AKA Gives Somizi The Death Stare

Somizi Mhlongo appears to have ruffled AKA’s feathers after the rapper’s performance on Sunday night’s finale of Idols SA season 18.

The season 18 finale of Idols SA concluded with a bang on Sunday night, with Thapelo Molomo emerging victorious. This was one of the most contentious seasons of the show’s history. The season’s runner-up was Nozi Sibiya.

AKA lit up the stage with a medley of songs, including his smash hit All Eyes on Me, alongside JR Bogopa, and Somizi had a few things to say about it.

The Idols SA judge did not mince his words when he said “I have seen better.” Shortly after saying that, AKA gave him a death stare and clearly his commentary did not sit well with the rapper.

Tweeps weighed on this and accused Somizi of inheriting Cassper and AKA’s beef.

@theSA_brand commented: “Somizi is Cassper’s friend, but AKA had to keep calm and not take it that seriously #IdolsSA”

@LizaNjee commented: “Wasn’t Somizi involved in AKAs drama back then? Did they ever fix it?”

@DQFab_ZA commented “He always inherit beefs. Trust me.”

In 2020, Somizi defended AKA following the backlash he received from the LGBTQI+ community after calling Cassper Nyovest a m**fie.

Somizi accepted AKA’s apology and said everyone make mistakes. “I’d like to apologize to anybody offended by my use of the word “Moffie” in a previous tweet. At some point, i thought it wasn’t a big deal to use this word. I understand now that it’s not acceptable,” tweeted Somizi.

my love we all make mistakes unintentionally. Just like a lot of ppl dont know that the word kula is derogatory to call indian ppl….he made the same mistake….that's what I thought

In a series of tweets, AKA issued an apology to those he offended, and said he thought it was not a big deal: “I would like to apologize to anybody offended by my use of the word “Moffie” in a previous tweet. At some point, i thought it wasn’t a big deal to use this word. I understand now that it’s not acceptable.”
