AKA calls ‘naked Zille’ free speech

After social media went crazy at the sight of DA leaders’ private parts, ANC supporter AKA said ‘Let’s all laugh now together’.
On Instagram on Thursday evening, rapper AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes, joined a chorus of ANC supporters and general Facebook and Twitter followers in praising a painting showing DA leaders naked.
On his official Instagram account, akaworldwide, Forbes wrote:

“Freedom of speech is nice ne? …. Or is this a problem now? They want to drone on about Freedom of Speech when paintings like this are drawn about our own President. Their cartoonists, and their “artists” They laugh. Let’s all laugh now together …. As South Africans.”
He was referring to a host of recent paintings by Ayanda Mabulu, as well as The Spear by Brett Murray, which many defended despite offensive imagery of President Jacob Zuma’s genitalia.
In 2012, the ANC even marched to the Goodman Gallery against the painting.

AKA’s post was widely shared, with many of his followers reacting in shock at the graphic, pornographic nudity on display.
Other celebs also joined the fray overnight with a range of opinions.
Others were largely supportive of his view and defended him, such as one fan who wrote: “People be acting like this picture was painted by AKA..it wasn’t fools.don’t shoot the messenger…you should be worried why youre so damn worried because it Zille’s turn…what,is the world gonna come to an end now that its her,huh…???
