Cassper Nyovest has spoken out after the death of South African industry rival AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes. But the rapper’s ex-girlfriend Bonang Matheba has remained silent after he was shot and killed in Durban on Friday, 10 February.

Bonang dated the muso dated from 2015 to 2018, reportedly splitting on bad terms.

AKA and his best friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane were shot and killed outside a Florida Road eatery late on Friday evening.

NO WORD FROM BONANG ON AKA’S DEATH

While countless celebrities in Mzansi have been paying tribute to AKA, Bonang Matheba has seemingly blue-ticked the news.

Instead, the media mogul liked a post by SA comedian Loyiso Gola paying tribute to Tibz instead.

While she hasn’t tweeted anything since 7 February – three days before AKA’s death – she has liked tweets from her followers all weekend long.

But while Bonang has refused to speak, AKA’s other ex and baby mama DJ Zinhle, broke her silence over the weekend. In a series of Instagram Stories, DJ Zinhle remembered her ex as a hands-on father to their daughter Kairo Forbes. She also acknowledged his relationship with current girlfriend, Nadia Nakai.

MESSY RELATIONSHIP

In 2015, AKA and Bonang Matheba went public with their relationship.

The high-profile relationship was volatile, starting and ending on messy terms.

According to Zinhle, AKA’s romantic relationship with Bonang began as an affair – when she was pregnant with their daughter Kairo – an allegation he admitted to years later.

AKA and Bonang would split in 2018 over allegations of cheating on her part

The rapper later released a diss track called Beyonce, in which he threw shade at the “Queen B”, a nickname for Bonang.

Without naming her, he also accused his high-profile ex of witchcraft after alleging to have found “rocks” in his wardrobe after their split.
