AKA’s and Tibz’s murder has caused outrage and many are calling on police to arrest the perpetrators swiftly. Nota Baloyi who has become notorious for his commentary on all things pop culture, chimed in on the rapper’s murder.

The former music executive listed names of people he suspects are allegedly behind the rapper’s assassination. According to him, AKA’s closest friends are the culprits and should answer for what happened to him.

“They (T Effect) took him to Durban to go die. They isolated him from us. There was nobody left to protect him when it mattered the most. They made him post his location so that they could have him killed. I believe everyone involved in taking Kiernan to Durban was in on killing him. The CCTV footage says it all. We can see who was there for the rehearsals. If the cops bungle this we’ll make sure Tony Forbes gets the answers he deserves.

“Durban, we don’t want you fucking AKA tributes, we want answers. Who ordered this hit, and who are the shooters? Everyone but Tibz and the driver, was part of their set-up so Kiernan’s crew need to each individually prove themselves innocent beyond a reasonable doubt. Until we have confessions, my suspects ate Saso, DJ Feel, Don Design, and Scorpio Siya.”

“I picked AmaZulu FC as my next suspect because their chairman made threats on the life of Kiernan and his friends. Their headquarters are on Main Road in Bryanston opposite Gemelli where they clearly could see how Bryanston’s favorite resident was making his comeback.”

“T-Effect sent Kiernan to Durban to die, they are my sixth suspect. I’d like them to prove they were part of the setup. We saw the footage, we are coming to our own conclusions, the police cannot be trusted. The young ones are traumatised, my nephews and nieces. You cannot trust the promoters in Durban, they arranged the death of AKA. We watched it on video. The promoters in Durban killed AKA. They planned his death. Not all the promoters. But the ones who didn’t, name the ones who did.”
