Rapper AKA funeral —

Cassper Nyovest has been keeping his time on social media limited since the gruesome murder of rap foe, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes.

It was not all hostile between them, as they started off as friends, to Cassper openly admitting that AKA had been an inspiration to him, but things ended on a sour note between them as they had back and forths on social media and face to face, openly displaying their dislike for each other.

Not to say Cassper Nyovest is not saddened by the sudden death of AKA, he released a statement earlier this week expressing his sadness over the passing of Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane.

He sent his condolences to his family, “My sincere condolences goes out to Kiernan and Tebello’s families, colleagues and fans. May their souls rest in peace and their legacies be celebrated. May the Good lord be with all of you at this sad time.”

He then asked his fans to send love to AKA’s fans, “To all my fans, pls send all your love to the Megacy and family. The nation is mourning & could use more love and less evil.”

When fans asked him if he would be attending the funeral and memorial services, he said he would attend if he was in the country, unfortunately he is out of the country for work purposes, so he would not be able to attend neither services.

“Unfortunately I’ll be out of the country for work but if I was around I would’ve went. I would’ve went to the funeral too,” he said. He acknowledged their beef, however he said they had good times and he was one of the people whose contribution to the Hip Hop industry do not go unnoticed.

“No matter how you look at it, me and Kiernan shared a lot of great moments together and he contributed to my industry so I have to pay my respects.”
