Lynn Forbes – the mother of AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes – has revealed the devastating moment she had to break the news of his death to his daughter Kairo Forbes.

The Forbes matriarch appeared on eNCA’s News Night, where she spoke of the aftermath of her son’s brutal murder.

 

 

 

AKA was shot and killed by unknown gunmen outside a Durban restaurant more than two months ago. Arrests of the suspects have yet to be made.

In the exclusive interview, Lynn Forbes reflected on how AKA’s immediate family learned the news of his death.

But even sadder than Kiernan’s death was breaking the news to his daughter Kairo.

Lynn revealed that she was given the painful task, which was done the morning after his death. She said: “I told her that we have some really sad news…Your dad died”.

Kairo then asked Lynn what had happened to her famous father. Lynn continued: “I said some bad people hurt him….they shot him. She cried terribly”.

After letting the information digest, Lynn claims that Kairo asked her a devastating question.

“She asked: ‘But, he’s coming back, right? He will be ok’. And I had to tell her, ‘No, he’s not coming back, and we have to bury him.’

Lynn added that AKA’s final goodbye to Kairo was just as heartwrenching. “He said, ‘I’m going to miss you so much. I want you to know that daddy loves you’”

In an interview with You Magazine earlier this month, Lynn revealed another heartbreaking comment from Kairo.

Sometime after AKA’s death, the family decided removing a few items from his home was best.
