WITH a beef that spans more than four years now, South African rappers AKA and Cassper are allegedly set to fight it out in the boxing ring this September.
AKA confirmed the plans during a Twitter rant last Thursday, explaining that their fight was a long time coming. In a series of tweets, AKA claimed that the two were in the process of signing a boxing deal for a fight, and put Cassper under pressure to sign the deal.
The Baddest hitmaker started off by posting a video of himself at the gym hitting a boxing bag on Twitter with a caption that read, “Tag short pan. Let him know his management don’t care about him letting him do this fight.”
AKA said it wasn’t a joke and they were indeed going to fight it out in the boxing ring.
“Y’all think I’m joking. The fight is set for September. That’s why he’s been talking about ‘boxing’ in his interviews. Baiting me. Trust me. September. AKA vs Pony Boy. Ten rounds . . . EFC . . . winner takes all.”
AKA explained that the boxing plans had been there for a while and highlighted how Cassper has subtly been hinting at it through his responses. He claimed that he was going to beat the Babygirl hitmaker in front of his friends and family.
Cassper did not comment on the fight or his rivals jabs, but after AKA’s tweets told his followers that they should “stay humble, keep a strong will, a strong mind and stay fly”.
Meanwhile, AKA shared a Direct Message he sent to Cassper urging him to sign the contract so they could both make some coins. According to the Supa Mega, both artists are set to make between R5m and R8m from the fight.
“Everything is set. We both stand to make between 5 and 8 mil each . . . only catch is . . . he’s taking his time to sign”. − sowetanlive.co.za
