Another part of the video shows family and friends gathered at home as they are seated and having drinks. In the clip, AKA’s younger brother, Steff, takes a moment to give a vote of thanks as he acknowledges those who have supported his family since the rapper’s passing. Steff makes mention of AKA’s girlfriend and rapper Nadia Nakai, as well as his friends Da L.E.S, Zaz, and Don Design.

Having never heard Steff speak before, fans could not help but notice that he sounds very much like the Fela in Versace hitmaker when he speaks. In fact, his voice is so similar to AKA’s it’s uncanny.
