Nadia Nakai mustered up the strength to pay tribute to her late boyfriend, Kiernan ‘AKA‘ Forbes, in an Instagram post, after going dark from social media for over a week.
Nadia Nakai reacts to AKA death
The Naaa Meaan star first surfaced in public at the AKA memorial service, which took place at the Sandton Convention Centre last week Friday, exactly seven days after Supermega was gunned down in Durban.
Fans of Nakai grew concerned for her well-being when she appeared visibly shaken and barely able to contain her emotions next to Forbes’ mother, Lynn.
The 40 Bars rapper’s condition at the memorial service was so bad, Kairo Forbes got up to console her in what turned out to be a heart-wrenching moment that tugged on the heartstrings of millions of South Africans.
Appearing for the first time on social media, Nadia Nakai admitted she was struggling to come to terms with AKA’s death.
“My Heart is shattered, this is not what our future was meant to look like. I can’t believe I said my final goodbye to you yesterday. I’ll never see you again for the rest of my lifetime?” she wrote.
In the caption of a nostalgic video clip, which showed Kairo playing producer on the set of a makeshift couple’s tattoo photoshoot, Nadia admitted she was questioning God for bringing her close to her soulmate, only to take him away so abruptly.
“There is no pain bigger than the pain of losing you. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with you, I realise you’re the one who spent the rest of your life with me. I don’t know why things happen the way they do, but I’m questioning God right now.
“Why would he bring us together to only take you away. I just don’t understand. I don’t know how I’m going to do this, going on with my life without you, I just can’t,” she wrote.
AKA was laid to rest in a private funeral ceremony, on Saturday, 18 February 2023, on the same day his former manager Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane was buried.
The two friends and former business partners were gunned down outside a popular restaurant on Florida Road, Durban, on Friday, 10 February 2023.
More than a week later, Durban police have yet to announce arrests in the double murder investigation.
However, according to KZN SAPS Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, teams of detectives working on the case have, thus far, collected cell phones, footage from several CCTV cameras in and around the vicinity of the crime scene, as well as ballistic reports on the shell casings that murdered AKA and Tibz.
“We are still putting our evidence together so we have a solid case going forward,” he said.
