Even though AKA and Burna Boy don't see eye-to-eye, the Supa Mega decided to take the high road by congratulating him on his Grammy nomination.

The Grammy nomination comes in the wake of widespread backlash over Burna Boy being added to the line-up of the Africans Unite concert, which has since been canned.

Burna Boy was slammed for controversial comments in the wake of xenophobic attacks in SA in September. The Nigerian star urged black foreigners living in SA to defend and protect themselves against the attacks.AKA to beef up his security, warning that he would beat him up if he were to see him. Burna then promised to never set foot in Mzansi again until the government “wakes the f**k up and really performs a miracle”. However, amonth later, he was announced as part of the Africans Unite Concert line-up to “unify all Africans and speak out against femicide”.

The concert, which was set to take place this weekend, has been cancelled due to the public outcry around it.
