Since South African rapper AKA died last Friday, people have been concerned and worried about how his fiance Nadia Nakai is feeling.

AKA was gunned down in a suspected organised hit by two unknown assailants in front of a popular restaurant in Durban. AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes, was in the city to perform at his birthday celebration, and he was killed after a meal with friends.

 

 

 

 

 

AKA was in a public and adorable relationship with fellow rapper Nadia Nakai, and their union was one of the most talked about in the music industry.

When news of AKA’s death broke out, fans and the public streamed to Nadia’s Instagram to check for clues or her reaction to the brutal murder of her boyfriend. She has not yet said anything on her social media since the tragic night.

Days before the rapper’s callous murder, Insider SA visited the couple’s home for an interview, which fatefully turned out to be AKA’s last. Here are some intimate details AKA and Nadia Nakai revealed about their love story.

Insider SA initially scheduled the episode for 13 February, and then AKA was shot dead three days prior. They had to postpone the release to 14 February on YouTube.

AKA and Nadia Nakai first met in 2013

The two lovebirds first met in 2013, just after Nadia had finished varsity. The Naaa Meaan hitmaker was working for Icon, and she interviewed AKA, who was already famous by then.

Little did they imagine that they would be hotly in love almost ten years later.

AKA cooked for Nadia Nakai on their first date

The couple also revealed that on their first date, AKA invited Nadia to his home, and he prepared a meal for her. Being such a romantic, the Composure rapper lit up candles and dimmed the lights as they savoured bok choy and Indonesian sauce.

AKA revealed that his love for cooking comes from his Cape Town background, where his family was exposed to seafood and would occasionally braai.

AKA and Nadia enjoyed being home together

When AKA was still alive, he loved being home with Nadia to spend quality time together. In some instances, they would go out and discover new restaurants. The couple explained:

“We love being at home. We’re both such home buddies. We love being at home, and if it were up to us, we would never leave home.”

Nadia loved AKA because he was a natural leader

Bragga gushed:

“I think the favourite thing I love about you is how much of a leader you are. You lead me in a lot of things; you teach me a lot of things. I also like the fact that you are so strong in your beliefs and the way that you think is the right way to do things, and I had to learn a lot of that from you.”

Nadia wanted to have AKA’s baby

Nadia revealed that she wanted to have a baby with her boyfriend. Their little chat was endearing to watch:

Her: I wanna have a baby.

Him: I’m sure you do. Oooh, it’s getting hot in here [as he fans himself and Nadia bursts out laughing].

Her: I’m getting children.

AKA then died on 10 February, and it is yet to be seen if her wish was granted or if it tragically slipped away from her grasp.
