The recent xenophobic attack in South Africa has led to friction between some Nigerian celebs and their South African colleagues, particularly rapper AKA.

The rapper had stepped on some toes with his comments on xenophobia and quite a number of celebs expressed their displeasure with him in clear terms.

Many Nigerians also resorted to sending death threats to the SA rapper as they vowed to harm him if he ever sets foot in the country.
