Youngsta CPT calls on AKA’s friends to speak out

South African rapper Riyadh Roberts better known as Youngsta CPT has voiced his frustration on the lack of arrests and a way forward in finding out who exactly killed AKA. 

This comes after the interview of AKA’s bodyguard being aired on eTV. In the interview, Dogg claims to have been a breach in protocol followed on the day AKA was murdered. He says that had he been there, none of this would have occurred.

Soon after the interview aired, Youngsta CPT took to his Twitter timeline where he expressed his anger over the matter saying that he can not be the only one angry which caused him to call upon his friends and associates. 

“I shouldn’t be the most upset about Kiernan dying! Where’s his close brasse? Where’s the team? Where’s the associates? Where’s the law? Come now ouens, open your bek & DALA WHAT YOU MUST!,” he wrote. 

However, defending AKA’s friends was SA rapper Da L.E.S who took to his Twitter timeline to defend his friends saying they don’t have any ulterior motive to betray the late rapper and asked people to leave them alone as they too are grieving the loss of their friend. 

“Crazy world we living in. How do y’all really be thinking they took my man’s? What’s the motive? Everyone don’t grieve the same. Please leave them alone they been through a lot. I’m just as angry and also want answers but not in this direction please. Love.”
