Hip Hop artist, K.O performs one of his collaborations with AKA, Run Jozi.
South African hip hop star, Kiernan Forbes, commonly known as AKA will be laid to rest in Johannesburg on Saturday. The funeral will be a private ceremony that will only be attended by family and close friends.
The “Fela in Versace” hitmaker was shot and killed in Durban last weekend alongside his long-time friend, Tibello “Tibs” Motoane.
AKA’s memorial service ended on a high note on Friday as a variety of local hip hop artists – Anati, KO, Khuli Chana, Maggz, Tira, JR, Da Les and Yanga – took the stage to pay tribute to slain rapper Supa Mega a mini-concert.
The performances brought the house down as his industry colleagues sang AKAs biggest hits including “Run Jozi”, “All eyes on me” and “Heaven” to name a few.
