REASON FIRES SHOTS AT AKA OVER LEMONS (LEMONADE)' LYRICS Lemons (Lemonade) marks AKA's first single release ahead of his upcoming album, Mass Country. The 34-year-old rapper received high praise for the track from SA hip-hop fans. Taking to Twitter on Sunday 18 September, Reason expressed that he was not happy about a lyric in AKA's track.
Hearing AKA say: Thank God they showed they true colours/Switched up piano like vultures' is problematic to me. Especially from a hip-hop artist saying this on an Afro beat record. Like who you talking about exactly? Give me examples, wrote Reason.

In a second tweet he said: 031 Choppa, Big Zulu, Costa, Blxckie, Reason, Kwesta are all hip-hop artists who make piano. Does that line mean AKA considers all of us as vultures for that? Like? You make Afro beat records my n*gga.
Why you the only one that can switch' genres?
Hearing @akaworldwide say Thank God they showed they true colours/ Switched up piano like Vultures is problematic to me.

STOP BEING EMOTIONAL': TWEEPS WEIGH IN Weighing in on Reason's tweets towards AKA about the Lemons (Lemonade) lyrics, tweeps were quick to question why he didn't handle the matter privately.
Stop being emotional dawg. AKA didn't name drop you so it's best for you to shut up, wrote one tweep.
You and AKA are/were close, instead of texting him you whining on Twitter. When everything blows out of proportion people will be calling him bitter. If you needed clarity, you could've just texted him, wrote another tweep.

Most embarrassing thing about this tweet is AKA blue ticking you.
