A song in honour of the legendary South African composer and musician, Caiphus Semenya, AKA hopes that viewers will take away the essence of love from the video. He shares:

“I’m not here to inspire artists. I’m here to inspire people, regular people. I want them to be patriotic. Patriotic in their love and appreciation for the sound of South Africa that we are trying to create and not Metro Boomin’ knock offs. I want people to see the difference between artists more worried about the label of the clothes on their backs than the flows on their tracks, and artists like myself. I want people to appreciate their own stories and aesthetic, like this video. I want people to feel connected.”  

Taking an Our Perfect Wedding (OPW) approach to the video, AKA’s Caiphus Song video was shot at a popular Johannesburg wedding venue and features light hearted elements of a wedding. Viewers also get to see, for the first time ever, AKA showing impressive acting skills in a skit embedded in the video.
