Da LES – real name Lesley Momple – has seemingly been forgiven by the family of AKA – or Kiernan Forbes – after being accused of trying to “exploit” the late rapper’s legacy.

This, after the hitmaker’s local clothing brand Amakipkip advertised an unauthorised T-shirt featuring the slain star’s face last month.

 

In February, Forbes was shot and killed by unknown attackers outside a Durban eatery. No arrests have been made.In a series of Instagram Stories, DA LES revealed how he had been seemingly welcomed back by AKA’s nearest and dearest following the fashion faux pas last month.

The Amakipkip creator posted a pic with the late star’s father Tony Forbes, during a night out this week. He also posted clips of him partying with the rapper’s girlfriend Nadia Nakai.

The T-shirt rivals another recent one featuring the rapper’s face from local label Cultish. Unlike Amakipkip, the merchandise was approved by Forbes’s family, with proceeds going directly to them.

It read: “We extend our deepest apologies for any hurt caused by our recent release of a tribute T-shirt for the late rapper AKA, without obtaining consent from the entire family. Our intention was never to cause offense but rather to pay homage to AKA’s legacy and seek justice.

“A sad reality I prayed, nurtured and worked tirelessly hard never to experience for the sake of all. A sad reality I now have to accept as I realize that my kids are much grown with a better sense of understanding and knowledge of my pain & struggles regarding them!

“A sad reality that screams that I won’t live or be around forever and must take care of my health & mental state for the goodness of all.

“May God help me and reward me with all I truly deserve or punish me for all I have done wrong if that be the case. In the end, we will all live with the consequences of our actions. Sad but real and true! Now I have to do and be better for the sake of the same children I fought so hard never to be separated from.

“The journey thus far only makes me stronger as I come to terms with what I truly need and deserve for all my relentless hard work & efforts in life. Heartbroken but not shattered yet, I stand tall as I break this sad but true news to the same world that adores my beautiful family & I.

“My wife & I have decided to go our separate ways and headed for an irreconcilable marriage dissolution.

“Please respect our privacy and pray for us during this process as we heal and move on with our independent lives while jointly taking care of what we love most, Our children! God bless all.”
