And now, AKA has also weighed in. But he seems to be questioning the absence or exclusion of one artist on the lists - iFani.
Yes, AKA wants iFani on the list!
In a tweet yesterday, the Super Mega wrote: "These lists are very disappointing ..... things just make no sense whatsoever. I mean, how the hell can you have a top 50 SA Hip Hop list without Ifani?"

We're not sure if Kairo's dad is being sarcastic, because back in 2015, himself and iFani had their own little beef. Remember AKA's lyrics on his diss track 'Composure' when he said "Went gold but you n**gas did it funny style" ? Exactly!
But some of his fans are in agreement. Some are even attributing his absence on the lists to his appearance? Interesting.

The Zalebs team is reserving it's comment, but someone else who is questioning these lists is AKA's nemesis, Cassper Nyovest.
Cassper jokingly tweeted that he is number 51 on one of the lists because he wasn't on it.
