Kiernan “AKA” Forbes has recently become a trending topic on social media following the appearance of a lookalike performing his songs at a nightclub.
A video featuring the lookalike singing AKA’s tracks has gained viral attention, leading to various discussions online.
This incident is not unique, as lookalikes of various celebrities often make headlines while paying homage to famous figures.
The video received mixed feedback from both fans and notable figures.
DJ Speedsta weighed in, criticizing the performance by stating: “When you don’t get attention in high school you start to do weird things in your old age!”
In contrast, Nota Baloyi, a business executive, defended the performer, suggesting that the situation was being misunderstood.
“He went to high school with my little brother & got lots of attention, he’s a big fan doing karaoke. Nothing weird!” he wrote.
Responses on social media were divided, with some users questioning the intentions behind the performance while others regarded it as a harmless expression of fandom.
One comment noted, “Is he aware that he’ll never be him no matter how look alike he can be,” while another response read, “Not that deep man. Just a fan doing karaoke.”
AKA was tragically shot on February 10, 2023, outside a restaurant in Durban, a loss that continues to affect the South African music community and his supporters.
