Lynn Forbes, the mother of late South African musician AKA, has published a series of heartbreaking WhatsApp messages she exchanged with her son just ten days before his horrible murder. In a poignant Instagram post, Forbes shared her great sadness and longing for her son, Kiernan Forbes.
The communications revealed a tight relationship between the two, with Lynn expressing pride in AKA’s development as a man and father, particularly in relation to his daughter Kairo. The caption on the post read:
Today is really difficult. The hardest part is that you have gone forever quiet on my phone. I miss your texts and calls so much 💔
The message struck a chord with followers, who responded with sorrow and support.
AKA’s fans also reflected on the rapper’s previous relationships with celebs like Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Despite the outpouring of love and sympathy, AKA’s death has left a huge vacuum in the hearts of his fans, family, and the South African music community.
