He said, ” The first lesson that I’ve learnt in business experiences is to speak straight and speak bluntly, make your intentions clear, make yourself understood, also learn when to push and when to concede as well, patience, communication, learn that sometimes you need to communicate.”
AKA has been one of the pioneers in terms of securing lucrative business deals as a hip hop artist, through his business ventures he has managed to make good returns with the brands he has been in business with, hence he had multi-year deals them. This success along with the failed ventures have given AKA a different perspective as to how people should approach running a business or making business deals. He has been on both sides of deals that have been good and deals that went sour so he has a provides a perspective that deals with transparency and clear communication.
Throughout his career AKA has managed to secure business deals with brands such as Reebok, where he designed his own exclusive sneaker line and Cruz Vodka, where he also had his own signature flavoured bottles. These deals have provided him a wealth of business knowledge that can help him in how he conducts his business deals, from now going forward.
