Nadia Nakai announced on Instagram that she is set to release a new single dedicated to the late rapper AKA, whose real name is Kiernan Jarryd Forbes. The single is scheduled to drop on Friday, 26 January, just two days before what would have been the rapper's first birthday since his untimely death.

The celebrated South African singer AKA was shot dead outside of Wish Restaurant on February 10, 2023 on Florida Road in Durban. In March last year, just a month after the rapper was killed, his girlfriend, Nadia Nakia shared the last conversation she had with him, IOL reported. Unfortunately, her text messages were never delivered to him as he was ultimately killed before he had a chance to read them.
