South African hip-hop artist Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, better known by his stage name AKA, passed away on February 10, 2023. South African-born and raised Forbes shot to fame with the release of the album’s lead track, “Victory Lap” (2010).

On 10 February 2023, Kiernan Forbes and his buddy, the chef and businessman Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane, were murdered.

 

 

 

 

 

It is believed that the shooting occurred as the couple was on their way to a nightclub to perform in honor of Forbes’ birthday celebrations.

The murder’s motivation is currently under scrutiny.

Col. Robert Netshiunda, a spokesman for the police, told the BBC that the rapper and his buddy were shot at close range as they walked to their car.

The attackers then made a footrace for it.

The police have stated that they will not speculate as to whether or not the killings were the result of a hit, but that they also cannot rule out the idea.

Family, friends, and fans of AKA have been trying to piece together the events leading up to his and his friend’s deaths, 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 it’s been deduced that his pal sold AKA to the assassins. What follows is the apparently online explanation of what occurred.

See the attached screenshot for an explanation of how AKA’s supposed friend became involved. For a long time, he was supposedly blackmailed, and while he tried to refuse, it came down to his giving in or Aka. Hence, he gave up AKA in an effort to preserve his own life.

It appeared that he was not acting alone and that many others were complicit in this scheme. Whoever accomplished this must have a lot of influence.
