Our local rappers are not impressed!

Cape Town - If you’re a Hip Hop fan and were in Jozi then you were probably at the Axcess festival over this past weekend.

With international headline acts such as SchoolboyQ, Rae Sremmurd and Kid Ink and 16 of our local Hip Hop artists (Cassper, Cash Time, DJ Dimples and the list goes on…)

Well, our SA rappers are not impressed as they were treated like crap when the international guys showed up…

Reason took to Twitter to vent about this...

#AxecessJozi was dope last night. Everything was amazing. Except for security treating us like s*** when the internationals showed up.

I swear. As much as I disagree with @akaworldwide's "No International openings" rule... I can't deny that he's right about why he doesn't.

I understand we have to take protect our international acts no doubt... But you protecting them from the biggest acts in SA too? Really?

The sad part was... When @CassperNyovest was on, I wasn't a security hazard. But the second Rae Sremmud showed up, all hell broke loose.

This security guy actually said to me... "I know its you Reason. You just performed. I know. but I dont care. You must leave".

My point is. I dont see why the levels are still so severe between local and international when we ALL kill the same shows.

I got nothing but love for my #AxessJozi fam and organizers. They take are of us. But last nights shenanigans broke my heart.

If last dont prove that local acts have international status... Then I dont know what will.

Damn... RT @akaworldwide: ReasonHD it's not gonna happen in SA anytime soon fam ... unfortunately it is what it is.

And the king of ranting responded and said this...

I see a couple of SA artists are hacked about their treatment at the hands of "internationals" last night ... I BEEEEEN telling you guys!!!

If you SA artists want to get treated like Kid Ink ... All you have to do is catch a flight to HARARE or LAGOS or WINDHOEK or NAIROBI etc ??

Well, at least Cassper got some loving from the international acts, he posted this:

Then @raesremmurd and @mikewillmadeit surprised me and jumped on stage to turn up with me while I was performing Shebeleza last night. #Moment
