AKA lost his life tragically in Durban on the 10th of February 2023, when he was supposed to perform for the birthday celebration at the Wish On Florida restaurant. He was shot with his friend Tebello who was once his manager.
At the Wish On Florida restaurant there were CCTV footages and the videos were released, then after a few days they were trending on social media. People started pointing fingers at AKA’s friends mostly Don Design and also the Tembe family. The Tembe family spoke out about these accusations and how they didn’t appreciate it, but Don Design didn’t. They accused Don because he was seen yawning on the CCTV video. On the 17th of February, during the memorial service of the late Kiernan AKA’s mother,
Lynn Forbes said she loves Don Design and takes him as her son and also said that people on social media will always have something to say. During the funeral which was today on the 18th of February, while friends were pouring soil on AKA’s grave Don Design poured Hennessy, maybe this means AKA loved Hennessy.
