Kiernan Forbes, known affectionately as AKA, has become the first African artist to bag an award and get slimed at the Nickelodeon KCA Awards 2019.

The Mega could not make it to Kwesta’s white wedding as he was due to appear at the awards show in Los Angeles on Saturday, 23 March.

AKA wins big at Nickelodeon KCA Awards 2019

Forbes was up against some big local names in the Favourite South African Star category. It was always going to be difficult to outshine the work of popular TV personality and United Nations ambassador, Nomzamo Mbatha.

However, the Megacy prevailed and AKA got enough votes to bag the award. While it was a great achievement, he did feel a little disappointed that he could not share this moment with his mother and daughter, Kairo Forbes.

The two could not make it for the trip in time due to visa issues. Nonetheless, the Mega dedicated the award to his daughter, who is surely proud knowing that her father is every kids’ favourite hero.
