Rapper AKA is looking for a game changer. The "Fela in Versace" hitmaker feels he has outgrown his stage name AKA.
The 31-year-old star took to Twitter to encourage followers to help him choose a new stage name.
“I just feel like “AKA” had a good run and it was dope while it lasted, but it doesn’t “fit” me anymore. Plus it’s super hard to google. PLUS my dad named me “KIERNAN” after a rugby player (sic).”

Meanwhile, the Mitchells Plain-born rapper also jokingly posted about his sporting career ambition for his daughter Kairo, 3.
“Myself and my father both want Kairo to play tennis and be the next Serena Williams or whatever, but unfortunately, her mom plays her too much house music . and her Dad is DI MOLTI TSALENTED... so you know where she’s gonna end up.(sic)”

Fans were more than willing to give their two cents on the name change, but according to a video he posted of Kairo dancing, it seems the little stunner is following in her parents’ footsteps.
