Nyovest has been showing love to the Supa Mega, who was once his fiercest rival, since he was murdered earlier in the year.
Company, which was released a week before AKA’s album, Mass Country, came out, has been a fan favourite from the album.
Since its release, Company has consistently been among the top three most streamed songs across various local digital streaming platforms and also topped the Rams radio monitor chart for four weeks in a row, making it the best charting local song of the year so far.
“I wasn't expecting to find myself with a smile on my face seeing Cassper nyovest play AKA 's song Company 🥺,” one fan tweeted.

AKA’s co-manager, Nhlanhla “Nivo” Ndimande, recently explained that Company was the last song recorded on the project and that the beat was produced by KDDO and sent to AKA years ago before they stumbled on it again earlier in the year.
KDDO, who AKA previously collaborated with on his hit single “Fela In Versace”, joined AKA in Los Angeles in January to work on finishing the song as they rushed to wrap up the album.
On Monday morning, AKA’s team announced that the album’s lead single, Lemons (Lemonade) had just hit 5 million views on YouTube. It’s AKA’s fifth video to hit that mark following Jika, Fela In Versace, Caiphus Song and The World Is Yours.
