South African Hip hop act AKA has narrated why he pulled out of American rapper Wale's concert having been billed as an opening act for the show.
He reveals being treated unfairly by the organizers and promoters of the show, saying he and his band were put in a 'wack hotel' who were practically unreachable when he tried reaching out to them to complain about the unsatisfactory state of the accommodation they had been provided with.
Taking to Twitter, he tweets: "“Eventually after being ignored all day, we’re rushed to the venue. When we get there, they start shouting at us like we’re they’re kids,” AKA said. And that was when he was done with the whole show.
“I told them to go fuck themselves, called the band back and bounced,” he said, and didn’t give a flipping bird when the promoters said he would never be booked for a show again.

The rooms aren't ready, the hotel is wack, they aren't even picking up our calls for us to complain 😂😂😂— AKA (@akaworldwide) June 21, 2016

These Castle Lite (or whatever company/promoter) people start screaming at us how we'll never be booked for Castle Lite again 😂😂😂— AKA (@akaworldwide) June 21, 2016
Now the stage is on like a Lil island setup So you gotta take a Lil boat ride there. The band was in the boat on the way while we argued.— AKA (@akaworldwide) June 21, 2016
Long story short. I told them to go fuck themselves, called the band back and bounced.— AKA (@akaworldwide) June 21, 2016
They had to turn that lil boat around. 😂— AKA (@akaworldwide) June 21, 2016
It was a big deal to do something like that to a brand like that at that time. Nobody fucked with me again.— AKA (@akaworldwide) June 21, 2016
