Destined for showbiz? Old AKA tweet about Kairo revisited [photo]
An old tweet by slain rapper AKA about his daughter Kairo proves that she is destined to follow in her famous parents’ footsteps.
With both parents in the entertainment industry, it comes as no surprise that AKA and DJ ZInhle’s daughter, Kairo Forbes, was destined to follow in their footsteps.
And an old tweet by the late rapper is proving just that.
Last weekend, the eight-year-old only child of the slain star made headlines after taking to the stage in a tribute performance at 947’s Joburg Day.
