the Most Influential People of African Descent (MIPAD) 100 identifies high achievers of African descent in public and private sectors from all around the world as a progressive network of relevant actors to join together in the spirit of recognition, justice and development of Africa and AKA is one of the people to get recognized by the fraternity after naming the American Senegalese born musician Akon with the same accolade in the recent past.
The South African rapper AKA becomes the first African musician to be given this accolade thus far and he was humbled by MIPAD and went on to say this;
