Following the tragic passing of South African rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, his family has shown unwavering support for his girlfriend at the time, Nadia Nakai. AKA’s father, Tony Forbes, has developed a close bond with Nadia, attending her performances, taking photos together, and even buying her gifts. While these gestures may seem innocent and thoughtful, some eyebrows have been raised regarding the closeness between Nadia and Tony following AKA’s death.

 

 

 

 

Nadia Nakai and AKA had been dating for just over a year when he was shot and killed in Durban in February of this year. In the aftermath of this senseless tragedy, the Forbes family, along with AKA’s “baby momma” DJ Zinhle, came together to support one another. Surprisingly, Nadia Nakai was embraced within this close-knit circle of support. Tony Forbes even accompanied her to her first performance since AKA’s death, showcasing the family’s solidarity.

Recently, Tony sent Nadia a necklace, which she unboxed and shared on her Instagram Stories. However, this act of kindness has sparked some controversy and speculation. A screenshot of Nadia’s post made its way to a gossip blog, where the sender questioned the growing closeness between Nadia and Tony, insinuating potentially sinister motives.

In response to the gossip, South Africans have voiced their opinions, highlighting the tendency to misconstrue acts of kindness as something more. One person wrote, “We’re such a damaged people that any act of kindness is misconstrued as a sexual gesture.” Another individual chimed in, stating, “The Dad is just trying to fill the gap; AKA had supportive parents from the onset. He’s just trying to show her appreciation as his son did. Why are our people so narrow-minded?”

While some may question the intentions behind Tony’s gestures towards Nadia Nakai, it’s important to recognize that grief and loss can bring people closer together in unexpected ways. The Forbes family has shown tremendous support for Nadia during this difficult time, extending their love and appreciation for the connection she had with AKA. It is crucial to approach these situations with understanding and empathy, rather than jumping to unwarranted conclusions.
