The family of slain rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes gathered at Rockets in Sandton on Tuesday this week for a press conference regarding the death of the 35-year-old who was killed outside Wish restaurant on Florida Road in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
AKA’s parents, Lynn and Tony Forbes, as well as his younger brother and girlfriend Nadia Nakai, were in attendance.

His death comes as a shock to his millions of fans who have not stopped speculating about who is behind the senseless killing.
On Tuesday this week, the rapper’s family appeared in public for the first time for a press conference regarding his death and funeral arrangements.
