The unexpected, heartbreaking news of AKA’s tragic death sent shockwaves through the music business. When paramedics arrived at the shooting scene, they found it to be chaotic and discovered two men in their late 30s with several gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, one of them had already passed away from his wounds and had been pronounced dead. According to reports, AKA suffered six gunshot wounds during this unfortunate occurrence.
AKA was undoubtedly born to make music; his true name is Kiernan Jordan Forbes. Before the group disbanded in 2006, he was already making headlines as a member of the Entity hip hop group, for which he was nominated for a KORA Award in the category of Best African Hip Hop in 2002.
His solo career took off after his debut album Alter Ego was released in 2011 and continued to soar with subsequent releases, culminating with Touch My Blood in 2018. AKA had a tumultuous personal life as well. In 2015, he welcomed his daughter Kario Olwethu Forbes into the world with her mother DJ Zinhle Jiyane, with whom he had an on-and-off relationship before they broke up later that year. AKA was constantly surrounded by music, both personally and professionally, but his life was sadly cut short when he went away on February 11, 2023, at the age of 35.
