Anele Nelli Tembe’s family mourns AKA’s death.

Nelli was an ex-lover of the late rapper; she reportedly committed suicide in April 2021 by jumping out of a hotel balcony in Cape Town where she lodged with the rapper.

The death of the rapper whose real name is Kiernan Forbes reminded people of Anele’s death; it sparked rumors of revenge from the family of the lady.

Anele’s father, Moses Tembe released an official statement to mourn their late daughter’s lover.

“The Tembe Family would like to extend deepest condolences to the Forbes family on the passing of their beloved son Kiernan. It is with shock that we have learnt of Kiernan’s passing. As a parent, I feel deep pain for Kiernan’s parents, Tony and Lynn, his daughter Kairo and the family at large.”

“Kiernan was an extraordinary and talented musician. His music contributed meaningfully to Soth Africa’s and indeed Africa’s rich music tapestry,” part of the statement read.
