AKA stirred some controversy with his recent tweets. One of them saying “New rule: I can’t take a picture if you can’t prove that you own my album.” What it means basically, he wants his fans to prove that they are buying his music, not stealing it. This was followed by even harsher explanation about how some of his so called fans are stealing the food from his family table.
