AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes becomes the first Urban act of his generation to hit 1 billion streams for an individual single. #AKAdiamond is currently trending in South Africa because the super multi-talented Supa Mga is also a multi diamond selling artist. Multi-Multi as we recognise from AKA.
At a private dinner held last on Tuesday, it was announced that AKA’s The World Is Yours and Caiphus Song were both certified 8 x Platinum, One Time certified 1 x Diamond and his Dreamwork certified 5 x Diamond.
Supa Mega’s monumental milestone for single Dreamwork, now makes him the first South African Urban Hip Hop act of his generation to hit over 1 Billion streams for an individual single.
The Supa Mega says he is beyond blessed to receive this amount of love and appreciation.
“Thank you. I am beyond blessed to receive this amount of love and appreciation. I don’t have the words to explain how it feels. God is great. The greatest of all time. #1 on my list of hottest MC’s,” says AKA, on his biggest accolade to date in his career.
“The music always speaks for itself. Kiernan is a once in a lifetime musician that has not only changed the lives of many people in his personal life but has changed the South African music landscape as we know it,” shares Raphael Benza of Vth Season.
No stranger to raising the bar and hitting impressive milestones, Supa Mega latest record-breaking feat comes off the back of a double single release last week.
