\"AKA<\/p>\n

One thing that we\u2019ve always loved about AKA is how realistic the rapper is, always blunt and honest never beats around the bush.<\/p>\n

So apparently in the music business you haven\u2019t made it until you make in the USA, well we honestly don\u2019t know who came up with that theory.<\/p>\n

Even though our artists are getting international recognition lately, all that matters to them is dominating Africa. AKA was showing off about making it in the UK recently but the rapper opened up about where he wants to see his music career and well he says America is not the place for him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Sim Dope<\/em> rapper was interviewed on Factory78 during his UK tour and he basically said that the American music industry doesn\u2019t need any outside act and that he\u2019s not obsessed about making it there.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as my long term plans go, I\u2019m not too interested in the States. The state\u2019s know what they want. They have what they want. I\u2019ll always be AKA from South Africa. Davido from Nigeria. While in the UK, Nigeria, Dubai I can still be \u2018that guy\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n

Doro may not want to carry our flag with him on stage anymore but, at least he still knows that he\u2019s AKA from South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many Africans who are big in the States and who have affected US culture. But for me, I have a different plan. I have a different plan to get to where I want to be. It\u2019s time for a new story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uhmmm we really wonder what Doro\u2019s plans are. We know we talking about music here but, can those plans please include marrying Zinhle?\u2026<\/p>\n
