RAPPER AKA has apologised for being rude to radio presenter Thando Thabethe.

This after he refused to answer questions during an interview.

During the interview, Thando asked AKA if he felt the need to say anything about the incident that happened, and asked if it were something that he was never going to answer. She was referring to the death of AKA’s fiancee, Anele Tembe.

AKA snapped, and responded: “It’s none of your business. It’s nobody’s business but my own. It’s something I’m living with in my life.”

But on Tuesday, the artist justified his actions and said he felt triggered, and that Thando could have asked the question in a better way.

Taking to his Instagram, he wrote: “I’ve been seeing a lot of hoo-ha on social media about our interview on Friday. For the record, I just want to say that @thando_thabethe has always been in my corner from the start, even through everything that has happened this year. It’s unfortunate that I felt triggered by the way she asked her questions, and I could have handled it better. After all, she’s just doing her job. We have nothing but love for each other and when I’m ready, I’ll be back chopping it up with her as always. I also want to send my love to the @947joburg family that has always been there for me. I’m sorry.”

Thando accepted the apology, to which she replied: “It’s always love my friend.”

AKA’s response attracted mixed reactions as some people said he was hiding something.

But others felt that Thando lacked sensitivity in her questioning.

Sandile Phakathi said: “It’s just unfortunate that she mishandled the interview like that. You were there specifically for the music, not for the elephant in the room. We need to call it for what it is. She could have handled that better. You could even see how the room became awkward. That’s why she reached in for that awkward high-five.”

Awakhiwe Ncube said: “Personally, I don’t think you owe anyone an apology. If you don’t want to talk about something, you don’t want to.”

Nozipho Mbatha added: “It’s the way the questions were asked.”
