In her appearance on the L-Tido Podcast, Kamo Mphela expressed gratitude for AKA‘s acknowledgement of her in a song, particularly noting the sentimental value it held for her, especially considering the song’s release following his passing.
“I appreciated that for real, I think the craziest thing for me is both him and Costa that, when Costa passed away as well, it was like a thing of Costa mentioned me on a lot of songs. AKA did the same thing, I never thought it was really like that.
“I never thought he rated my craft like that to actually put me on a song. Because not a lot of people are on AKA’s songs, I dont think he mentions a lot of people. So that was like I think he is a GOAT, so I really appreciate that, before he checked out, I was there,” Kamo Mphela said.
