Rapper AKA, real name Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, was born in South Africa on January 28, 1988. Forbes, who was born and raised in Cape Town, rose to prominence after the publication of his debut studio album, Altar Ego, and the hit “Victory Lap” (2011).
After Levels (2014), Touch My Blood (2018), Bhovamania (2020), and the joint album Be Careful What You Wish For with Anatii, Forbes continued to have popularity (2017).
Forbes introduced the watermelon-flavored beverage with his initial on the bottles in April 2020 alongside vodka brand Cruz. Forbes appeared as a special guest at WWE Live events in Johannesburg and Cape Town that same month.
What happened between AKA and his girlfriend?
At the end of 2014, DJ Zinhle, a producer, and Forbes started dating. Congratulations to my winner,” Zinhle said after winning multiple South African Hip Hop Awards, offering a relationship indication. Kairo Olwethu Forbes, the couple’s kid, was born on July 8, 2015.
After it was found that Forbes allegedly cheated on Zinhle with television broadcaster Bonang Matheba, Forbes and Zinhle ended their relationship in August 2015.
When Forbes and Matheba announced their romance in 2016, they did so while refuting the accusations. In December 2017, Matheba and Forbes parted ways. Forbes and Zinhle split up again later in 2019, although they reconciled in the latter part of 2018.
