Cape Town – Lynn Forbes, the mother of Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes, is still reeling from the devastating loss of her son in early February after he was shot in cold blood outside a club in Durban.
She has appealed to the rapper’s big fanbase to do all they can to keep his memory and legacy alive for his daughter, Kairo Forbes.
In an emotional post on Instagram, Lynn posted a long caption where she said that even though AKA is no longer alive, his spirit continues on and she appreciates the support that she and her family have received.
“Your unwavering support, contributed to Kiernan’s drive, excellence and relentless hard work. He was a perfectionist who made no allowance for anything mediocre . He inspired excellence in himself but your support kept him going for almost two decades … propelling him into super stardom. No words can describe how much you meant to him and for that you have my everlasting love and gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” she said.

She continued: “Knowing the person and father he has grown into, I believe Kiernan would ask of me and you to continue loving the people he loved and to preserve his memory and legacy forever … so when Kairo’s friends in future ask her who her dad was she would be able to answer … Let me show you who my dad is,” she said.
“I have lost one son … to death. But he left me with the gift of love and life … multiple sons and daughters in the larger Megacy family. May his legacy and spirit live on forever. Long Live Supa Mega Live Long.”
