'If we don’t do something serious, the arts will also be a casualty of this pandemic,' said Kiernan.

ReporterRapper AKA has called out the government for the 'void' in leadership where the arts are concerned.Rapper AKA has expressed his disappointment at how “OGs” in the music industry have failed to step up to leadership roles and assist artists during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The rapper took to Twitter to lambaste the “absolute void of leadership” he's seen since the coronavirus arrived in SA.All these people we call “OG’s” in the music industry are quiet as f*** with regards to how to lead us during this pandemic. An absolute void of leadership. What is to become of our artists and their livelihoods?” he asked.

A follower of the rapper, assuming that AKA was referring specifically to veteran artists, replied that the OG had no power, as their hands were tied as well. AKA explained that he was actually referring to leaders in the business and government side of the industry.I’m talking about the ones in high positions in government. High positions in multi national companies. With numerous tenders. Enriching themselves,” he said.

Nonsense. Which OG’s are you talking about? I’m talking about the ones in HIGH POSITIONS in Government. HIGH POSITIONS in multi national companies. With numerous tenders. Enriching themselves.
