I'm no fan. But listening to snippets of the interview… In that situation, after the arguing and the mean exchanges, it does make it hard to face the person, worse when they're dead/dying from jumping off, after arguing. Expectation of life is minimum at that point. #IamMegacy

This hashtag was about the MEGACY fan base of AKA the artist not husband . The problem started when some of you started involving ANELE'S death into it nobody knows the truth, but I will continue to say the #IamMegacy will always support him when it comes to his craft&genuineness

The way @casspernyovest removed himself from the whole AKa saga is commendable, we don't kick a man when he's down #IamMegacy pic.twitter.com/2IFyLQ5f9B

A girl died after an 8 hour argument.She tried to kill herself in his presence at least 3 times before.He admitted he broke down the door in anger and we see him lunging towards her but he can't remember why.He took videos of her in distress.But "he loved her out loud" #IamMegacy

Not at all. #IamMegacy was mainly for those who believe the story he told us, that he has no hands in the death of his ex fiance.

Not taking sides Like any other cases in SA's justice system we still need treat this one like it should be and we should bear in mind that he's innocent until proven Guilty.Yes Tembe girl died, if SAPS gets enough evidence that points AKA to jail he will be convicted #IamMegacy pic.twitter.com/3iLLXjCgmJ
