\n

During a heartfelt interview on Wednesday, April 8, Lynn Forbes, mother of the late AKA, shared her thoughts on nearly everything concerning her son on L-Tido’s podcast.<\/p>\n

L-Tido mentioned that it was Lynn who contacted him because she felt that “stuff had to be said,” and she certainly had a lot to share!<\/p>\n

It was really nice and considerate of L-Tido to don a pair of AKA’s sneakers from the 2024 Reebok collection, particularly since Lynn was present and AKA was his inaugural guest on the podcast.<\/p>\n

He remarked, \u201cIt\u2019s the first time I\u2019m wearing these shoes out. [but] I had to wear them today\u201d.<\/p>\n

AKA\u2019S MOTHER SHARED HER TRUTH ON L-TIDO\u2019S PODCAST<\/h2>\n

In March 2026, Nadia Nakai, AKA’s last girlfriend, conveyed her desire to move forward and seek new love, stating, \u201cI don\u2019t want to love a ghost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her statement suggested a desire to close the chapter on AKA following his tragic passing in February 2023.<\/p>\n

While some considered her phrasing of AKA as a ghost to be somewhat insensitive, Lynn, who is acquainted with Nadia, clarified that she took no offense to her remark and they \u201chad a good laugh [about it].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNadia and I had a good laugh\u2026 I know Nadia, so I\u2019m like, okay, don\u2019t worry about it. It\u2019s fine. They don\u2019t understand you,<\/em>\u201d Lynn commented.<\/p>\n

LYNN FORBES: \u2018MY SON LITERALLY LOOKED AFTER ME\u2019<\/h2>\n

It was clear that AKA had no reservations about shouldering his considerable responsibilities toward his beloved mother.<\/p>\n

Lynn disclosed that the Baddest<\/em> artist provided her a monthly allowance, stating, \u201cI depended on my son for a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son literally looked after me. I mean, he was my bank. Kiernan and I had a life together. I depended on my son for a lot of things, for the roof over my head, for the food on my table,<\/em>\u201d she expressed.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018IN FACT, IT\u2019S ME\u2019<\/h2>\n

Have you ever wondered who manages AKA\u2019s social media accounts? The answer is Lynn herself. Though she collaborates with a team, she takes the lead on what gets published.<\/p>\n

One of the more frustrating comments she receives in DMs is people suggesting, \u201clet the guy rest\u201d or \u201cthey\u2019re milking him.\u201d Nonetheless, Lynn maintains a respectable viewpoint.<\/p>\n

This was in context to the recent merchandise, which features quality t-shirts, hoodies, and other items.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever comes out on the AKA social media pages is approved by the family. It\u2019s us. In fact, it\u2019s me<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s [There are] two streams here. There\u2019s Kiernan, the family member, and there\u2019s AKA, who\u2019s a brand and a business. And that business continues\u2026 we have a legacy to take forward<\/em>,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n

\u2018I LITERALLY SCREAMED\u2019<\/h2>\n

During the ongoing Madlanga Commission inquiry, CCTV footage of AKA and his former manager, Tebello Tibz Motsoane, being shot was shown.<\/p>\n

Lynn expressed her dismay, stating that had she known that the video would be presented, she wouldn’t have chosen to watch the trial at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis video came from a different angle, and it was something I didn\u2019t expect to see [while] watching the Madlanga Commission<\/em>,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI literally screamed; I was in tears. It was very traumatising. I wish they could have informed us that we\u2019re going to show the AKA murder, then I probably wouldn\u2019t have watched it<\/em>,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u2018CASSPER CAME TO SEE US\u2019<\/h2>\n

The rivalry between AKA and Cassper was one of the most notable in the South African entertainment scene.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, this did not stop the Tito Mboweni<\/em> artist from offering his sympathies to the Forbes family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Kiernan died, Cassper came to see us. He brought his condolences<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2018HE PAID FOR A HEART TRANSPLANT\u2019<\/h2>\n

\u201cI had somebody that [who] reached out to say that Kiernan paid for a heart transplant,\u201d<\/em> Lynn disclosed.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the interview, Lynn mentioned feeling anxious, but she expressed her truth to the best of her ability.<\/p>\n

L-Tido also conducted the conversation with great skill, posing pertinent questions while remaining professional.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
