AKA has decided to assist the family of the 16-year-old boy with down syndrome who was killed by the police.
It was reported that the boy, Nathaniel Julius had left to eat a cookie by a tuck shop and while eating the biscuits and sitting with friends, a police van approached the group.
Due to the fact he could not speak well, they thought he was hiding something then shot him.
AKA who took to his Twitter few minutes ago stated that instead of using a hashtag which he feeling its useless, people should try to offer something better as he revealed that someone should let him know where to send the bag to assist the family.
“Your hashtags don’t mean shit to that young man’s family. Could someone please let me know where to send the bag to assist. Thank You.”

People really think they making a difference tweeting from the comfort of their homes about police this and police that and coloured this and coloured that. Outraged on twitter while watching Netflix and ordering Uber eats. Hilarious.

Someone already responded to his tweet asking if he could send the mother’s contact to his DM.
If you could perhaps DM me if you are close to the family and find out what is needed I’d be more than happy to help, in fact, I’d be honored. https://t.co/NYuBVIvdk5

Bold moves 💪🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Social media “activists” taking advantage of real issues for RTs and likes to grow their accounts must end. Those are boss moves bro.

No need to flex the hashtags create awareness and support so that as a nation we stand in solidarity gee mega if you wanna nikela just do so but don’t do it at the expense of belittling others efforts to help we supposed to be united.

Send the bag in Gucci Bag. It won’t bring the boy back but it will definitely assist the family in these times. pic.twitter.com/gOOvn1VCXi
