DJ Zinhle Pays Tribute To AKA

The mother of Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes’ daughter, DJ Zinhle, is left speechless following the tragic news of his passing. Zinhle took to Instagram to pay tribute to AKA by posting his images, and said nothing. She even posted the heartwarming video of him and their daughter doing a TikTok challenge and intentionally switched off her comments section, blocking out the potential nasty comments.

Following the news of the shocking murder of AKA, the media houses in SA camped outside his home in Bryanston. Images and videos of mourners were released and Zinhle was one of them. She arrived with her mentor Oskido.

Tony and Lynn Forbes, his parents confirmed his death on Friday, 10 February in Durban. They asked for prayers in dealing with the death.

“It is with extreme sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our beloved son, and confirm his untimely and tragic passing on the evening or February 10, 2023. We are awaiting further details from Durban police.

“To us, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes was a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, most importantly father to his beloved daughter Kairo,” his parents added. “To many, he was AKA, Supa Mega, Bhova and the many other names of affection his legion of fans called him by. Our son was loved and gave love in return.”

Social media users made Zinhle trend and shared their thoughts about the entire unfortunate situation.

Can’t imagine what Zinhle must also be going through. Having to console a young child about death is very difficult, they ask so many questions and want to know the exact details. Enzo did that, he asked how my Mom was eating under the ground! It’s a painful trigger.

Let’s give Dj Zinhle her flowers. Imagine what would have happened if she was bitter, resentful & denied AKA access to his child! Kairo would not have experienced her loving father. Not Zinhle – she has her child’s best interest at heart. Let’s take notes from this Queen#RIPAKA pic.twitter.com/mAIMfcUtQq
