While tributes and condolences messages are still pouring in for the Forbes family. Scores of musicians, creatives and artists continues to share some of the memorable moments they have hared with the slain, Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes.
Rapper Emtee is the last and certainly not the least to take to social media as he admits that AKA played a huge role in his music career when he was still starting. Back in 2015, Emtee released a hit song ‘Roll Up’ which instantly became a national anthem.
However, even with Roll Up under his belt, his name did not carry too much weight until he collaborated with AKA for a ‘Roll Up’ remix. Emtee admits artists did not want to work with him because he was still starting up and poor.
However, AKA looked beyond the surface and saw his raw talent that needed to be explored. Subsequently after the collaboration with AKA, Emtee became a household brand and his name was launched forever.
Everybody looked down on me cos I was poor till I got AKA on a song
