AKA and Julius Malema party it up at #SlaySundays, Polokwane [photos]

Whoever said there was any bad blood between AKA and EFF leader, Julius Malema is fake news. The two seemed cordial as ever as they stood for pictures at #SlaySundays, an event that took place in Polokwane on Sunday, 30 December.

AKA is infamous for the ‘no cellphones around him’ policy that saw one of his fans have his phone thrown off the balcony by Supa Mega. However, on Sunday, the man was in a good mood.

AKA and Julius Malema silence rumours of beef

It is not exactly clear if Mega performed or not, as we were not able to attain any footage of event poster that suggested this to be so. But in his tweet — a photo with him posed next to a griinning Malema — he thanked the leader of the red berets for hosting him and his crew in Polokwane.

It was nothing but Cruz Watermelon, a flavour of the vodka that is partially owned by AKA, at the section where they were seated.

Things between the power social media powerhouses were rumoured to be a little tense after Malema’s remark about Mega in a recent address.

Also, it had almost seemed that, by default, the two would not cross paths and shake hands since Malema has a relationship with Cassper Nyovest — AKA’s arch enemy.

Furthermore, AKA does not dabble in the realm of politics but every now and then that ANC cheque clear ahead of an election campaign and the Mega obliges.

However, on Sunday, all of those speculations were put to rest when the two megastars of their respective fields — music and politics — met for a night of fun and drinks.

Hate or love it but Malema has found a way to become more relatable to the youth of this country. If anything, political leaders need to learn how to speak the language of the voter who is regarded as the most crucial in the upcoming elections.
