Lynn Forbes, the mother of the slain rapper AKA – real name Kiernan Jarryd Forbes was reminded of her son as schools opened earlier this week. Her granddaughter, the rapper’s daughter, Kairo, began her first days of Grade three. Lynn posted a photo of Kairo dressed in her school uniform as she dedicated a post to her son, the late Sim Dope hitmaker as seen via Instagram.

 

 

 

AKA died after he was gunned down by an unknown gunman/woman on the evening of 10 February 2023 in Durban. The rapper has been tremendously missed by his family since his death which was caught on a CCTV footage in Florida Road. As his death anniversary is coming up next month, his birthday coming up later this month, and his eight-year-old daughter having started a new Grade following his death, AKA’s mother said she still feels her son’s presence and especially during special moments.

I know you were there with me when I took her [Kairo] to school for her first day of Gr3. You stayed with her all day until I picked her up. You were there with me doing the same on day 2 and you sat with me through the parent info session last night. It broke my heart when they spoke about the dad-and-daughter robotics days coming up this year. I remember you being very excited about her getting to Gr3 so you can do this with her,” Lynn wrote on her feed.

“You will be with her [Kairo] again today and every day going forward and even if we can’t see you; we feel your presence all the time,” Lynn added. Kairo Forbes surprised her father, AKA, with a homemade cake on his 35th birthday on 28 January, last year. The rapper’s mother, Lynn, penned to AKA and said that she and Kairo have recently reminisced about last year’s cute birthday gesture.

“She [Kairo] notices you in the butterflies and in the clouds when they open up and she knows that you’re with her. Yesterday, she talked about your upcoming birthday and we reminisced about the cake she baked for you last year and how you almost started a fire lighting all of those 35 candles,” Lynn wrote.
