Is AKA’s 28th birthday today and Bonang couldn’t help it but to give a shoutout to her bae.
Bonang Matheba gave her rumoured bae AKA a shoutout on her radio show.
During her The Front Row show on Metro FM, a listener requested AKA’s hit track Baddest as one of the songs he wanted played on-air, and Queen B used the opportunity to give the rapper a quick birthday message.
In an ‘oh, by the way’ fashion, Bonang said: “Speaking of AKA, it’s his birthday, 28. Happy Birthday!”
And then she kept it moving like it was nothing special. But it looks like today is a special day for someone in her life.
Bonang used emojis to hint on Twitter that she was flying back to Johannesburg on Wednesday just in time for someone’s birthday.
She followed up that tweet with more birthday emojis and the number 28. Mmm, who ever could that have been for?!
