He was a close friend to Kiernan
Sim Dope was a close friend to AKA and since his passing, Sim Dope has been also checking up on the Forbes family on how they have been doing. Sim Dope has a lot of history with AKA because they attended high school together.
AKA is in a happy place where he can see his friends and family celebrating together. Sim Dope was actually happy that his friend won 4 awards over the weekend. He knows how talented and hardworking AKA was. AKA had good friends with good intentions, his mother felt his presents as well.
AKA used to sing a lot about Sim Dope and how they used to spend their time together, despite on how rich Sim Dope is. AKA is definitely rejoicing in heaven because of this. His awards and the flag of South Africa were one of his favorite things.
