South Africans Ask Hilarious Questions to Americans in #AmericaCanIAsk

Twitter is ablaze as South Africans ask all the questions they have ever wanted to ask Americans.

South Africans are fed up with the stereotypes that abound with regards to the African continent. And, so in true South African style, they have taken to Twitter under #AmericaCanIAsk to ask Americans some of their most pressing questions. From asking why Americans feel lions roam about the streets as if in a jungle, to why they pronounce certain things differently from everyone else, it's impossible to not find some of the shade absolutely hilarious.

Here are a whole lot of those hilarious tweets to brighten up your day (or not, if you're American).

Listen to Swae Lee & Drake's​ New Single 'Won't Be Late,' Produced by Tekno

As well as production, Tekno also gets a writing credit on the new song.

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee drops two new singles today, "Won't Be Late" featuring Drake and "Sextasy."

"Won't Be Late" is notably produced by Nigeria's own Tekno. The new single is built on a mid tempo, afro-fusion-inspired beat, filled with claps, and light keyboard chords.

As well as production, Tekno also gets a writing credit on the new song. You can hear his input when Drake sings lines like, 'Ikebe, pressing on me heavy' and 'Bakasi, moving on me wassy.'

If you remember, Drake shouted out Tekno last year as one of his many inspirations behind Scorpion and posted a picture of them working on something together.

"Won't Be Late" is paired with Swae Lee's "Sextasy" which was produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and Chopsquad DJ.

Tekno's had a lively past few months. He was recently featured in Beyoncé's The Lion King: The Gift album and dropped his "Agege" collaboration with Zlatan. He was also accused of being a "threat to security" by Nigeria's Council for Arts & Culture for that single's pole dancing video.

Listen to "Won't Be Late" below.
