It is a norm that as celebrities become increasingly popular, they are asked for advice during interviews for people who look up to them. Sometimes fans who are trying to get into the industry attempt to get personal help or personalized advice from the celebrity.

A fan sent aka a message telling him that he is done running after AKA when he clearly doesn’t care to help. This is what AKA had to say “Y’all think this game is for everybody. Newsflash. 90% of everybody’s music is I had to exchange many numbers before we could even get the CHANCE to be in the same studio as KHULI or KO or Linda … you think you gone just text me & I’m just gonna put you on my back? You dreaming”

Lady Du’s opinion
Lady Du clearly was phased by the way AKA decide to handle the situation. When Supa Mega asked how he was expected to reply to such a text she said. “By not posting it on the socials and actually addressing the heart of that person. They are hurting, and hurt people say mean things. The entitlement is wrong but the reason behind it might be inspiration. You can see he/she is your fan before anything. Sometimes giving a person a chance might give you magic. Try it, If you are busy just let them know!”
