AKA says he is “the greatest SA Hip Hop producer of all time”

South African rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes better known as AKA bragged about being the greatest South African Hip-Hop producer of all time as he claims to have produced 90% of his music.

The musician took to his Twitter timeline where he sparked a huge debate among South African citizens. The rapper said: 

“Statistically speaking … since I’ve produced 90% of all my music … surely I am the greatest SA Hip Hop producer of all time. Statistically,” he tweeted.


The rapper further revealed that he has released more songs as a producer that have topped music charts, which he therefore crowned himself the best.

“Surely as a producer, I have put up more number 1’s than any producer in the history of SA Hip Hop,” he wrote on his Twitter timeline. 

AKA continued with his Twitter rant saying:

AKA also reveled that he has only produced for himself as he wants the best, which is a weakness as he always wants to keep all the “hottest shit” for himself he stated.

“I mean yeah I haven’t produced for as many other artists as I should have … I guess that can be the only criticism. I always just wanted to keep all the hottest shit for myself,” he wrote.
