 A.K.A. Slam's COVID-19 Relief Fund for Creatives, What Am I Gonna Do With Our 2, 200 a Month? Rapper A.K.A., one of the country's most vocal celebs about the effect of COVID-19 and the lockdown, has criticized the decision by sports, arts, and culture minister Nathan Pethwa to give creatives our 2, 200 a month for the next three months. On Monday, Pethwa announced a second wave of relief funds for artists and employees in the arts industry, explaining that creatives can apply to potentially get our 2, 200 a month to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and the lockdown. A.K.A., wait in on the decision, asking what he would do with this amount. The rapper said the whole thing seemed backwards to him because, apparently, the people who calculated the amount didn't take into account the usual lifestyle of artists. Why the F.U.C.K. has it been designated to artists who spend that amount of money per week on ganja, and not given to people who actually need it? It's all A.S.S. backwards. Some felt A.K.A. was being ungrateful and that, compared to the our 350 ordinary citizens get, our 2, 200 was a lot of money. However, A.K.A. was adamant the money would never be enough for him. He said he's not unemployed, nor retrenched. I am not retrenched and I am not unemployed. I am trying to not retrench people and I am self-employed. You guys are not going to force me to be grateful for R2K from the government. It does not mean S.H.I.T. to me.
