“There is this subtle dislike that a lot of them (If not all) feel towards Nigerians and no matter how hard they try to hide it .. it eventually jumps out – like when AKA had a full childish grown man tantrum when they lost to Nigeria in the nations cup,” he tweeted.
It didn’t take time before AKA responded to YCee’s tweet and it was not really nice as they both went back and forth.
“Are you talking about this guy?” AKA replied YCee. He went on to call YCee’s narrative stupid as he also hates losing to Australia.

“South Africa and Nigeria is the continent’s BIGGEST RIVALRY … a SIBLING RIVALRY because we are brothers and sisters … I also hate losing to Australia for fucks sake. Let’s pull together as Africans and stop dividing ourselves. This whole narrative is stupid!!!” he added.
