LYNN FORBES ON ‘JUDGY MOMS AND SWEET SUCCESS’

Glammy – Lynn Forbes sat down with Schalk on his podcast Your Mom of Schalk to chat about her son – AKA’s music journey. AKA was shot dead outside of Wish Restaurant on Florida Road, Durban on 10 February, along with his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane.

She revealed that the other mom’s judged when she told them that AKA was not going to university. This was because his aspired to be a sound engineer and rapper.

“I can remember sitting at the school leavers brunch with all the St Johns mommies. And there I am sitting, but everyone is going to varsity but my son is like the only child that doesn’t go to varsity,” she said.

“You know how you just want to sink into the floor. Because when it comes to me and I say ‘no my son has decided he’s not going to varsity, he’s going to be a sound engineer and rapper… nobody said anything but I could feel it, that judgement was real,” she contined.

“Shame, you must be struggling so much with your child. This poor child is giving you so much trouble,” she says mimicking other mom’s thoughts.

Lynn also revealed that AKA later ran into one of his teachers, after he made it and told her he was “just dabbling in a bit of music.”
