Kiernan Jarryd Forbes (28 January 1988 – 10 February 2023), known professionally as AKA, was a South African rapper. Born and raised In Cape Town Forbes gained recognition after releasing his single “Victory Lap” from his debut studio album, Altar Ego (2010).

The pair are thought to have been on their way to a nightclub for a performance as part of Forbes’ birthday celebrations when they were shot.

The motive of the killing is being investigated.

Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda has told the BBC that the rapper and his friend were walking to their car when they were approached by two armed men who shot them at close range.

The assailants then fled the scene on foot.

Police have said they don’t want to speculate on whether the murders were a result of a hit but said that possibility cannot be ruled out.

Since the passing of AKA and his friend, family members, friends, and fans have been trying to figure out who could have killed, and with the help of the CCTV footage that was posted on social media some people close to him are suspected of killing AKA, according to people on social media, his friend Don is the one who allegedly sold AKA.

So people have concluded that his friend is the one who sold AKA to the hit men. Below is what was posted explaining how it allegedly went down.

The screenshot below, explains how AKA’s friend allegedly ended up getting involved in this whole this. He was allegedly blackmailed for quite some time though he tried to say no, it was hard because it was either him or Aka. So he ended up giving away AKA to save his life.

By the look of things he was not alone, a lot of people were involved in this whole thing. This means whoever did this is a very powerful person.
