AKA happier than ever after Bonang Matheba break-up
“I’ve never been happier than I am right now, and I owe some of this happiness to the break-up," says AKA.
AKA is no longer mourning his break-up with Bonang Matheba.
Speaking to Drum magazine, the 'Beyoncé' rapper says he did miss Bonang after their split, but he is over that chapter of his life.
"I definitely missed her – I missed being with her and laughing with her and when I realised she didn’t miss me, I had to let go. She made me not miss her," he said.

AKA says he has "never been happier" than he is right now.
"I owe some of this happiness to the break-up. I’m calmer now. I know my character, I know who I am, and I know what I have time and patience for.”
