J’Something Pays Tribute To AKA With Tender Rendition of “Congratulate” In a brief, heartfelt clip that has quietly rippled across social timelines, singer-songwriter J’Something sat with an acoustic guitar and offered his own take on AKA‘s celebrated track “Congratulate.” The stripped-back performance arrived as a personal salute from one artist to another, simple in form and heavy in feeling.
Taking to Instagram, the MiCasa member said he misses AKA and that the late rapper’s absence is deeply felt across the music community and by South Africans at large. He went on to express gratitude to the late rapper for living behind timeless music that is making everyone feel close to him.
“Congratulate by @akaworldwide I miss you dude. The lack of your physical presence is so felt … to many and to so many others. Thank you for the music and above all the friendship. You’re still so alive in so many ways. Long live SUPA MEGA long live. Love and light.”
The video shows J Something alone with his instrument, letting the melody breathe and the lyrics land with new vulnerability. Without production frills, the rendition reframes the celebratory anthem into a moment of remembrance, the familiar lines now serving as both tribute and conversation with absence.
For fans who grew up hearing AKA’s larger-than-life persona, the clip reads as a quiet reminder of the bonds within South Africa’s music community. Musically, the acoustic arrangement highlights the songwriting beneath the bravado and reveals the emotional scaffolding of a song that once roared through clubs and playlists. J Something’s voice, warm and measured, leans into that intimacy and invites listeners to reflect rather than celebrate in the usual sense.
Whether intended as a private farewell or a public homage, the performance underscores something many have been saying in different ways: music is the place where absence can still feel full. In a few measured chords, J Something turned a hit single into a soft benediction, a moment of love and light in the wake of loss.
