It’s been almost a year since legendary rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes was s@@t and k@@d, leaving his family, friends and the “Megacy”, grief-stricken ever since.
Most of all, his daughter, Kairo Forbes, whom he shared a close relationship with, has been having a difficult time processing her emotions.
DJ Zinhle, Kairo’s mom, took to Instagram to say how hard it’s been for the 8-year-old, in the lead up to AKA’s 36th birthday, which was on Sunday, January 28.
The “Umlilo” hitmaker said that although she wanted to “heal and celebrate” AKA, it was just “too soon” for Kairo.
“Kairo had a tough week leading up to Kiernan’s birthday, as a mother, I want her to heal & celebrate her dad but it’s too soon,” she said.
DJ Zinhle said the past year had been a roller-coaster ride and that she felt “helpless” because she can’t help Kairo deal with her pain.
She thanked her husband and popular musician, Mörda, for putting aside his pride and protecting the family.
“@murdahbongz thank you for holding us close & protecting us. My prayer is that we never fail Kairo, that we always allow love & kindness to flow into her life so she never feels lost without Kiernan.

DJ Zinhle thanked her family, the Jiyanes, the Mohosanas, the Forbes and AKA’s girlfriend, Nadia Nakai, for sharing the load with Mörda and herself.
