However, his 2020 tweet, AKA has come forward to say he does not hate Burna Boy.

In his reaction to Burna Boy’s loss, AKA said Burna Boy is still a champion as his nomination is still as good as a win. He reiterated his earlier statement that Burna Boy’s Grammy nomination is a huge achievement.

“What you should have done is focus on the positive instead of thinking about me and my country. In any case, Burna is still a champion. We still consider him a winner.”
