Recently, the South African rapper has put his money where his mouth is by financially supporting the squad. After being ridiculed for his “small” R2000 wager when Manchester United played Southampton in late August, Supa Mega has increased the stakes.

Selling Tupperware…
However, the rapper was criticized for his wager on Manchester United vs Southampton. To the point where the hip-hop star joked that his fans make him sound like he’s “selling Tupperware.”

End-of-appointment July’s of South African soccer icon Benni McCarthy as first-team coach for Manchester United is certain to make AKA ecstatic. Former Bafana Bafana forward who specializes in coaching offensive plays and positioning.
When McCarthy’s appointment was revealed, the rapper immediately took to Instagram and Twitter to express his delight at the former AmaZulu FC coach’s success:
“The word proud does not do justice to this occasion. My uncle played for the Cape Town Spurs, and my father is a native of the Plein…”
“My hero, my GOAT… This is just unbelievable. From Hanover Park to Old Trafford… Amazing!”
In any case, check it out…. BENNI IS COLOURED AS F**K, AND WE ARE TAKING THIS W BABY!!!! Enjoy the remainder of the day. Bruin Ous = Main Ous

Ink fever: Benni forever?
AKA, who also has a shoulder-sleeve tattoo of Manchester United’s club insignia, tweeted in August that he has decided to add McCarthy’s face to his collection of tattoos.
According to iHarare, the musician tattooed Michael Jackson’s visage below his Manchester United tattoo to recognize the late pop star’s impact on his musical career.
That’s all… I’ve decided. I’m getting a BENNI MCARTHY tat ….

Let’s hope he uses the “Tupperware money” from his most recent wager to do McCarthy justice…
Please, Supa Mega, consider your actions before committing them to paper. Benni’s face tattooed beneath Michael Jackson’s would be WRONG!
