AKA, a well-known stage name for South African rapper and singer Kieran Forbes, was shot and killed on Florida Road in Durban, KZN. The reason for the incident is still unknown, however witnesses claim that a fight started before shots were fired.
Two people were shot with the rapper, one of whom is thought to have been his bodyguard and the other to be a close friend. Following the incident, AKA and his friend passed away, but AKA’s bodyguard sustained injuries. At this time, it is unknown who killed the South African rapper.
He was up in Cape Town, and his debut studio album, “Altar Ego,” which featured the hit song “Victory Lap,” launched him to fame in 2011.
Throughout the course of his career, he has released a number of well-received studio albums, including “Levels” (2014), “Touch My Blood” (2018), “Bhovamania” (2020), and the collaborative album “Be Careful What You Wish For” with Anatii (2017).
In April 2020, Cruz vodka and Forbes will launch a watermelon-flavored beverage. Forbes’ initial will appear on the bottles.
He also made special guest appearances at WWE Live events in Johannesburg and Cape Town. In 2019, a Comedy Central Roast program included Forbes as its subject. He wasn’t considered a suspect in Anele’s death.
