The Forbes family and Nadia Nakai commemorated AKA on his 36th birthday.
Parents Tony and Lynn, his daughter Kairo and the rapper’s girlfriend visited the late star’s grave over the weekend.
Taking to Instagram, Nakai wrote:
“Got 36 balloons to send to you, and in true Kairo fashion they had to be biodegradable to not harm the environment… Today is painful 💔♾️”
Kairo also took to her Instagram to share a special message for her late father.
AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes, was shot dead outside a restaurant in Durban last year.
10 February 2024 marks the first anniversary of his death.
DJ Zinhle, Kairo’s mother, shared that the lead-up to AKA’s birthday had been tough for the eight-year-old.
She adds that while she wanted to “heal and celebrate” AKA, it was just “too soon” for Kairo.
“Kairo had a tough week leading up to Kiernan’s birthday, as a mother, I want her to heal & celebrate her dad but it’s too soon."
