AKA to launch his own channel

From Friday, 8 May fans will be granted exclusive access to music previews, behind-the-scenes footage, performance showcases and specialist shows and documentaries hosted by rapper AKA when #AKATV goes live.

Described as a centralised hub of AKA produced content; #AKATV has been hailed as “the dawn of a new era” and “a ground-breaking move” by the rapper and his team.

Realistically, you might not be able to see your favs perform on an actual stage for the next year even. That changes everything. But with your support … we about to change the game like we always have. Love you ❤️ and thank you for being there for me. As usual. #Megacy 👑

“In a time where artists are far removed from their followers whom they would engage with on the road through a live show format, AKA is bridging the gap and strengthening the connectivity he has with music lovers through digitally curated content with them in mind,” said AKA’s team in a statement.

The rapper, real name is Kiernan Forbes, will give a ‘State of the Megacy’ address on Wednesday evening to give fans more details on what to expect when #AKATV launches.
