Rapper Nadia Nakai is head over heels in love with her musician boyfriend, Kiernan ‘AKA‘ Forbes and wants to start a family with him one day. The popular South African couple has been open and public about their love for each other.
The pair have kept followers invested in their love story through heartfelt pictures and videos on their social media accounts.
Nadia spoke to SowetanLIVE about how their relationship developed. She stated that the couple have known each other for years, but their friendship spontaneously blossomed into romance.
“There wasn’t a specific time that we told ourselves we were an official couple because we were just really good friends. We’d speak for long hours over the phone and share so much in common,”
Nakai mentioned that although she has known AKA for a long time, out of respect for Cassper Nyovest she avoided socialising with the rapper. This was mainly because she was signed to Nyovest’s record label Family Tree Records. AKA and Cassper are known to have had beef.
“I’ve known Kiernan for years. He was respectful every time I’d meet him. We never had personal issues and obviously, out of the respect for my label boss, I would refrain from socialising too much with him,”
Nadia Nakai gushes over AKA’s parenting
After observing AKA’s bond with his daughter Kairo Forbes and witnessing AKA’s amazing parenting skills, Nadia claims she would adore having her boyfriend’s children.
“We didn’t plan to become a couple, it just happened. I’ve witnessed how great he is as a father; of course, I’d love to have his babies one day,”
AKA shares seven-year-old Kairo with South African DJ Ntombezinhle Jiyane, popularly known as DJ Zinhle.
Nakai says there’s no drama between herself and DJ Zinhle
Tweeps recently accused DJ Zinhle of showing fake love to Nadia after a video of the two huggings went viral. Zinhle took to Twitter to state that she is sorry to disappoint tweeps, but there are no problems between her and AKA’s girlfriend.
Nadia also lashed out at people who tried to create drama between herself and AKA’s baby mama.
“I don’t know why people expect us to hate each other. She’s Kairo’s mother and I respect that and our friendship. People just love to see women hating on one another for no apparent reason,” she said.
Nadia has been busy creating new music with rapper Lucasraps. She dropped the song Not The Same last week Friday.
The rapper has also recently celebrated becoming a homeowner. She posted a tweet to announce that she has officially purchased herself a new house.
