Johannesburg- It seems like AKA isn't too impressed with being a celebrity at the moment.
The All Eyes on Me star took to Twitter, where through a series of tweets, he expressed how fans need to understand that he is "also human" and asking for pics at "inappropriate times" is just not cool.
AKA does acknowledge that he owes his career to his fans, but has also made it crystal clear that fans don't own him.
The rapper says that he doesn't expect fans to understand, but just wanted to give them some insight into what he has to go through on a daily basis.
So, if you see AKA at Wimpy, wait for him to finish his bacon before approaching him. Just like he would do with Kanye West. LOL.
Here's what he has to say...
Listen, I try my best to please the fans but It's simply impossible for me to take a photo with everyone who asks for a photo.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015Last night I stood in the section for 45min taking photos, one by one by one by one .. I just can't take snaps with a club of 2000 people.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015Sure it's cool to be famous and stuff but could you live with having to stop, around the clock non stop, to pose for pictures.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015At the hotel, at the airport, in the plane, at the other airport, at the garage, at the mall, at the restaurant ... Etc ... It never ends.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015So I pretend I'm on the phone when I'm not, walk through the airport with earphones on, try make sure I'm eating so I have an excuse.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015People also ask for pictures at inappropriate times. 7am, after a long night at the club, at Wimpy ..... Is not a good time.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015These are just insights I'm giving you. I don't expect you to understand.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015I truly value the support but sometimes it gets too much. Believe it or not, I am a human being after all.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015While I owe my career and livelihood to my fans. They do NOT own me. Voting doesn't mean I owe you my life.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015I love you guys, but damn .... Sometimes I'm just not up for it.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015I encourage you to ask for pics ... But it's up to you to be polite, and considerate and most importantly .... To buy the fuckin' album. ??
— AKA (@akaworldwide) August 2, 2015Anyways .... Love you guys! ?? ... But this fame shit ain't normal mayne!
