AKA Beefs With His Former Vth Season Manager

Rapper AKA has finally spoken up about the alleged Xenophobic complaints his former manager Raphael Benza filed against his current business partner, Prince Nyembe. Vth Season is Raphael’s company which AKA was signed to. The company issued a media statement yesterday which explained that the complaint was of the “hateful, injurious and xenophobic comments,” that were allegedly made by Prince via e-mail.

AKA responded to the complaints and said that the company is out of money because of the poor management it has

“It is important for people to know all sides of the story. The company is out of money. The emails were sent when I was in the process of leaving the company because funds were being mismanaged. Everybody can see that I am better off now than when I was at Vth Season. For me, the timing is questionable. When Vth Season is strapped for cash, they want to bring it to light. I don’t understand,” AKA told TshisaLIVE.

Benza slammed AKA’s claims that Vth Season was struggling money-wise and said that his issue lies with a xenophobic attack that he felt was unethical.”We are in Mauritius at the moment for a music conference with several of our artists. That should tell you that we are not struggling financially. We only brought this complaint to the Human Rights Commission because it is a human rights issue of xenophobia that is unacceptable to us. Perhaps this is a distraction technique but we will not be distracted from the fact that we stand against anyone insulting other Africans and telling them to go back to their country,” he told TshisaLIVE.

In conclusion the Caiphus Song hit-maker said that the company owes him money. “I don’t owe Vth Season any money. Vth Season owes me money. Vth Season was floating their entire company on me. I was the only artist that really ever made them money,” he said.
