It’s been a while since we last saw war rage between our celebrities, if memory serves us correct the last one we encountered was between Sizwe Dhlomo and Lerato Kganyago, boy was that one scorching twar (Twitter war).
Anyway, yesterday afternoon we witnessed yet another twar between rappers Cassper Nyovest and AKA…sigh… can’t we all just get along? We’re not sure who hoisted the first bomb that ignited the warfare but what we are sure of is that it all escalated to who has or is going to have the best hip hop video rotating on music channels today.
Even though AKA’s Congratulate video is only launching tomorrow, he’s confident that it will most certainly be the most talked about hip hop video on air. Unfortunately AKA deleted most of his tweets from the subliminal twitter war with Cassper Nyovest but one tweet we remember went a little something like this:
We’re going to make your music video look like it was shot with a cell phone.
AKA continued to say that people mustn't talk about songs that are not even on iTunes top 100, hash-tag songs for mahala.
OUCH!
The new generation Doc Shebeleza obviously didn’t take things lying down and fired shots back. He stood his ground and left the tweets as they were:
The twar was mildly entertaining but we couldn't help but wonder if this altercation wasn't a way to cause even more hype surrounding the Doc Shebeleza and AKA's video launching this Thursday. Surely if the public keeps debating on who's video is better doesn't it cause us to go watch both videos even more?
We personally think this was a video marketing strategy by both rappers to get more views on YouTube for their videos. We stand corrected but this twar could potentially benefit both parties when it comes to the video hype-scale.
