Local rapper AKA has once again stepped on his soapbox, offering peeps unwanted advice. This time, he thought it would be a good idea to tell his followers to switch the channel when local brands use foreign faces in campaigns. 

Known for being very opinionated on a variety of subjects, the 'Star Signs' rapper took a moment out of his busy day to suggest to his fans that they should switch channels if they see an international person used for a local advert.

AKA went on to elaborate on his initial point and even offered advice for other local brands, because he apparently is an expert on marketing and business all of a sudden, to check themselves before they get left behind. 

My aim has always been to push the culture forward. I want to open the doors for other artists to reap the benefits of what I'm doing right now so one day we can all win.

If REEBOK or CRUZ's competitors don't wake up and do the same deals with our artists, they're gonna fall faaaaaaaaaar behind. Our people want to support US. Give us our due. Give us what we deserve.

However, the final tweet was the one that had tweeples riled-up and they quickly put him in his place. 

Next time you see Rick Ross trying to sell you beer ON YOUR OWN TV SCREEN IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY instead of one of your own trying to break into this industry or do something for this country and for our culture ... CHANGE THAT F****** CHANNEL FAM!!!!!

What is it with people always tryna make decisions for companies? All Love man but it ain't your company or business. They make the decision for them not about what local artists will think. It's Business as it is always said! Stop w/ this grandstanding

The then clearly felt the heat and posted a tweet stating that he didn't want to "preach too much" and exited the conversation.

Anyways. I don't wanna preach too much. I just wanna say thank YOU for this incredible career and for all my opportunities so I can provide for my family. 🙏🏼 Goodnight and God bless.
