Nigerian rapper and singer, YCee is currently enjoying several accolades from compatriots for ‘teaching’ South African rapper, Aka, a lesson on Twitter.
Following the ongoing xenophobic attacks of Nigerians in South Africa, many have have raised their voices to condemn the gruesome act, urging all in authority in both countries to rise and put a stop to it.
Rapper YCee known also as Jagaban or Zaheer, pointed at some tweets that Aka made during the last African cup of nations when they(South Africa) were defeated by Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

In YCee’s opinion, people with large Twitter followers shouldn’t make such statements as they have a way of influencing those who follow them on social media.
Bro if you refuse to see the underlying implications of what you tweeted
There’s really no need for the back and forth
As public figures we should always recognize the strength our platforms carry! I have no agenda or narrative to push
I’m just deeply hurt and that’s that! https://t.co/E0kKdA3fVt— ZAHEER! (@iam_YCee) September 3, 2019
This made Nigerians on Twitter so happy because it shows that YCee isn’t one to sit on the fence.

Ycee’s evaluation of this xenophobia issue is apt . Nigerians treat foreigners in Nigeria better than their fellow Nigerians but when we go abroad we are treated like poison on meat .
