Rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, known professionally as AKA, is not the begging type.
The local rapper recently launched his own channel AKATV, which is available on Android and iOS app stores.
The channel is a centralised hub of content produced by him, such as music videos, behind the scenes footage, exclusive interviews and documentaries.

It has been barely a month and already the Jika hitmaker has fired shots at those who have not subscribed to the platform but have opinions over it.
People have been reviewing the platform online. One fan said R50 is a lot to pay per month, he can’t just blindly subscribe.
“'Support local' they say, but it’s hard to blindly support without fully understanding what you are getting into.
“It’s R50 now, R600 a year. And that’s money. So some of us want to understand what we’re signing up for, I love AKA but I can’t just blindly support him,” he said.

Responding to the fan AKA said: “If you want to understand what you are getting into go to YouTube or ask your cousin or something, man.
“It costs me 40k per episode, 4 times a month, OUT OF MY OWN pocket right now. That’s 160k p/m. I’m asking you for 50 bucks. While not doing a single gig. I’m putting myself out there and you still complaining. Hayi man. Just buy a ticket, broer,” he wrote.
The fed-up musician went on to say: “Just leave us as the Megacy to enjoy our #AKATV in peace please ... Nobody is forcing you.”
