Nadia Nakai Reflects on the Death of Her Boyfriend AKA

In a recent interview, South African rapper Nadia Nakai opened up about the tragic death of her boyfriend, renowned rapper AKA.

The couple had been dating for several years and were very close. Nakai said that she still remembers their last conversation, which took place just 10 minutes before AKA was fatally shot.

“He called me in the greatest of spirits,” she recalled. “He told me that he and his friends were going to the hotel to change and then head to the club.”

Nakai said that she was performing at an event when she received the news of AKA’s shooting. She didn’t immediately believe it, but when she realized that it was true, she was devastated.

“I literally ran out of that venue,” she said. “We got in the car and raced to Durban.”

Nakai said that she and AKA had planned to attend church together the day he was shot. However, they were unable to make it because the roads leading to the church were closed. Instead, they stopped at a casino, where they prayed and read scripture.

“He had been a believer in God for a long time,” Nakai said. “I feel that as the end neared, he was drawing even closer to God. I have no doubt about where he is now.”

Nakai said that she is still coping with the grief of losing AKA. She has found solace in the support of her family and fans, but she also acknowledged that she is still adjusting to life without him by her side.

“It’s been tough,” she said. “But I’m trying to stay strong.”

Kiernan Forbes, widely known as AKA, was a popular South African rapper who died on February 10, 2023, outside Wish Restaurant in Durban. He was 33 years old.

His death was a shock to the South African music industry and to his fans around the world. He was known for his unique sound and his ability to connect with his audience.

AKA’s death has left a void in the South African music industry. He was a talented artist who had a bright future ahead of him. His fans will miss his music and his presence in the community.

Nakai said that she is grateful for the support she has received since AKA’s death. She said that she is trying to stay strong and to focus on the positive memories she has of her time with him.

“He was a great man,” she said. “He will be missed.”
