Reacting to the attacks, Ycee, had written : “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.”
Responding, AKA shared a picture of himself draped in a Nigerian flag with the question, “Are you talking about this guy?”
Ycee responded once again, sharing tweets of AKA expressing pain at losing in the quarterfinal of the Africa Nations Cup to Nigeria.
