DJ Zinhle, who has a daughter Kairo Forbes with AKA, is facing backlash for repeatedly posting photos of the slain rapper on social media after his death.
Social media critics are slamming the DJ for her incessant sharing of the late rapper’s photos since he passed away arguing that Zinhle is currently married to someone else, while AKA also moved on with another woman before his death.

A notable Twitter account with 2 million followers tweeted, “I understand DJ Zinhle is mourning AKA. A picture or two in honour of Kiernan Forbes is understandable but a daily chain of pictures is not make sure.”
The critic argued that constantly sharing the rapper’s photo creates the impression that Zinhle “still had romantic ties with AKA” calling on her to respect her husband and marriage by refraining from sharing more snaps.
“Lest you give the impression that you still had romantic ties with AKA. She’s a married. Respect your husband & Your Marriage,” the user wrote.
The tweet, however, received opposing comments from people who feel there is nothing wrong with DJ Zinhle sharing AKA’s photo as many times as she wants. Take a look at some reactions found in the comment section.
A user wrote, “Nothing wrong with this. Nothing!”
Another person said, “AKA was not just Kairo’s dad. He was more than that… He was like family, he even went as far as saying he’d be involved in Asante’s upbringing… Not because he undermined Bongz… But because Asante was his beloved, doted Kairo’s sister. Zinhle must mourn her way.”
“This is funny and sad at the same time. Imagine how me and you were affected by AKA’ passing and we don’t have any kind of relationship with him but you expect Zinhle, a woman who mother his 1st and only change feel otherwise? C’mon maan.”
“What is your prblm guys? Akere you always said the existence of Zinhle and Morda’s relationship is in the hands of AKA cz Zinhle loved him,” a user submitted.
This other user feels the claim that Zinhle is still in love with AKA is true but suggests AKA loved Bonang, Nelli Tembe and Nadia Nakai more.
“But advo is not lying …lets not lie to ourselves, Zinhle was n dare i say still deeply inlove with aka. he dumped her twice. Aka…just had love n major respect for her but truly loved Bonang n Nellie. With Nadia…it was calm settle down love vibes,” the use said.
A user explains, “That’s the father of her child…they spent years together! She’s not just grieving for herself but on behalf of her child…watching your child’s heart break and knowing you can’t do anything about it is a different kind of pain… Stop been insensitive and let that family grieve!”
“Unbelievable, Zinhle lost a present father of her child (physically and financially) a father that gave her a breather when she needed one to mind the child so that she can concentrate more on her marriage and business. Ai this Twitter heros la lapisa,” said another user.
On Saturday, AKA will be laid to rest in a private provincial funeral.
AKA was known in the music industry as one of South Africa’s most formidable songwriters. He was shot dead outside a restaurant on Durban’s popular Florida Road strip on Friday 10 February 2023.
Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane, his friend and former manager, was also killed in the incident.
