@akaworldwide Speaks On Probably Never Making Sneakers Again Due To Not Getting Royalties

The Supa Mega, AKA has made his return to Twitter after having to announce and then later launch his brand new #AKATv app, and has quite a few things to say. A fan asked AKA regarding his partnership with Reebok and whether he will be releasing more sneakers anytime soon, the Supa Mega responded to the fan stating and I quote "Probably Never Again.." This lead to the consecutive tweets about the Reebok partnership explaining things we didn't know of and how he did not get a single cent from the collaboration. Check the following tweets from AKA below;

Can you believe they didn’t pay me a single cent for this? ... not one cent. https://t.co/EgW8AKkXBA

Probably never again. They refused to give me any sort of payment or royalty. https://t.co/WB0L9AzTcF

Shit happens. *shrug* .... in their mind they were doing me a favor. https://t.co/r0yDs47DuN

I had no choice ... it was always a dream of mine to have my own sneaker. I guess that’s why I took a shitty deal in exchange for doing something for the culture. https://t.co/9UUKFEnnGq

Well, same thing that happens most of the time ... you bring a brand back from the dead and someone in some office in Cape Town can’t stand to pay you more than they make in a year. https://t.co/0vwjLNXeqY

My deal expired in December last year. I haven’t been with them since. https://t.co/QQLvNMVtU3

There was no contract. Only my contract as an ambassador. A contract regarding the #SNEAKA doesn’t even exist. https://t.co/GG8YMDip7p

Yeah that’s the only comfort I take from the whole experience. At least I got to design and release my own sneaker. That’s about it. https://t.co/FzS5mSIMBv

At the end of last year they told me they wouldn’t be renewing my contract because “the brand” wasn’t about the Reebok “classic” direction anymore ... they were now geared towards selling gym clothes to women predominantly.

I was then told I would be offered free clothing every month but i would no longer be paid my monthly retainer. Oh well ... lesson learnt.

So yeah, that’s the story. Hold onto those pairs ... they will definitely be a collectors item one day.
