Not for the first time, friends of AKA – real name Kiernan Forbes – have been criticised by the public for pouring alcohol on his grave. On Sunday, a group of pals – including muso L-Tido – visited the rapper’s final resting place in honour of his birthday.

In a clip that had the “Megacy” seeing red, the friends doused the tombstone with Cruz Vodka, a brand the slain star had a longstanding partnership with.

 

AKA’s 36th birthday comes just two weeks before the first anniversary of his death. On 10 February, Forbes and Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane were killed by hired hitmen outside a Durban restaurant.

AKA’S PALS POUR VODKA ON HIS GRAVE
In a clip posted by L-Tido, a group of friends were seen visiting AKA’s grave located in Heroe’s Acre in Westpark Cemetary.

The pals took turns pouring bottles of Cruz Vodka in the flavours of watermelon and banana, which the rapper had publicly endorsed.

“We miss you, bro. There’ll never be another”, L-Tido captioned the pic.
In the comments section, a handful of tweeps defended the controversial move.

“I think they are just celebrating his birthday the AKA way,” commented one tweep. Another added: “It’s his birthday, it calls for a celebration.”

Others were offended…

@MasegoBT: “Kiernan was a saved man. He accepted Jesus as his Lord and savior. Stop pouring alcohol on his grave.”

@Tebelelo_Lico: “Clout chasing. I’m very disappointed. Next time, do that to your late relative/family. Leave SupaMega alone!”

@Sir_Tumisang: “The best birthday gift would be pushing to find who the killers are… Not vodka on a grave.”

@ZizinjaAbelungu: “This is disrespectful to the dead.”
