The “One Time” rapper recently went on full Twitter rant, taking shots at South African artists who are influenced by trap music.
AKA made sure his thoughts on the on going debate were made loud and clear in the tweets below:
As a South African with global aspirations, making trap music doesn't make sense to me.

The only trap music I'm interested in making is local trap music ..... Because locally, that's what people seem to like.

KANYE WEST is referencing SOUTH AFRICAN HOUSE MUSIC when he asks producers to cook for him ... So why are we looking abroad for inspiration?

There's a thin line in this country between trap/crap. 🇿🇦⚡️💩

You know what's super embarrassing?? Old heads ditching their style, desperate for relevance, trying to make trap music. THAT shit is sad. 😢

Before I go ... Here's a question for all artists out there. WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY? SOUND WISE? GENRE WISE? DO YOU HAVE AN IDENTITY?

If you take offense to the previous tweets. It just means you are making the shoe fit. If you my homie, you're my homie, Twitter ain't shit.
