What AKA said after Burna Boy failed to win Grammy Award

South African rapper, AKA has reacted to the news of Burna Boy losing the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album.

Burna Boy lost the award to Benin Republic legendary singer, Angelique Kidjo, at the 62nd Grammy Awards which held on Sunday.

As soon as the news broke, many stormed Twitter to get a reaction from AKA who had a back and forth with Burna Boy during last year's xenophobic attacks suffered by Nigerians in South Africa.

While many expected a certain reaction from AKA on Burna Boy's loss, the rapper tweeted: "I never hated Burna Boy. All I did was stand up for my country. I think it’s time to move past this narrative. It’s tired. Like I said, even a nomination is a huge achievement".

He added: "What you should have done is focus on the positive instead of thinking about me and my country. In any case, Burna is still a champion. We still consider him a winner".
