"Akata" is actually a derogatory term African immigrants in the U.S. and U.K. use to acknowledge African/Black Americans. The actual word means a cat that doesn't live at home, like a wild non-domesticated cat. Basically it is referring to Black Americans as "uncivilized" or lawless. It is divisive and wrong for African immigrants to use this word. I am guessing the reason why Kumerican rappers refer to themselves as "Akatafou" is an attempt to reclaim the word. The way they see it, they live the "thug life" - the lawless life that the word "akata" implies when it is used against Black Americans. I understand the sentiment but I am conflicted because "akata" is not theirs(Ghanaians living in Ghana) to reclaim. They are not susceptible to the "Otherizing” that native Black Americans feel when the word is used against them. It's like a white person trying to reclaim the N-word when it has never harmed him/her. I just feel like it just reiterates the stereotype and narrative that Black Americans are naturally violent and they incite the history of violence against them when we know that is not the case. I am a fan of the Kumerican Drill Rap scene, I just wish they would educate themselves on the history and pain of the word before they claimed it.
