In light of the news, Raphael Benza, the head of the South African record label, The Vth Season shared expressed his excitement about the news by writing:
"All love to The Megacy and the King of Music…#SupaMega #MassCountryGoesGold".
In an interview with TshisaLIVE AKA’s business partner, Raphael Benza told the publication that a certified plaque would be presented soon after the album achieved more than 16 million streams.
"It's a bittersweet moment to announce AKA latest musical masterpiece Mass Country is certified gold with more than 16 million streams. A certified plaque will be presented soon.
