Kiernan AKAForbes was recently on social media sharing his dreams as reported:
Kiernan “AKA” Forbes is currently on the road to the release of his fifth solo studio Mass Country. With the singles he released so far failing to make a noticeable impact as the countdown to the official album releases heats up, it seems that AKA is reverting back to his previous tactics, and that is to rely on tweeting to drum up attention.
Hence his recent tweets were to share how he wished that he had become an Idols SA judge before the imminent end of the show. However, AKA did highlight that the chance to have had a seat at the judging table would only be an added judging credit in his already established judging portfolio.
AKA’s tweets come off the back of the ongoing debate on social media on whether or not Idols SA has managed to create superstars. A debate that was started by Y.FM veteran DJ, Ankletap, when he took to Twitter to share his disappointment at the fact and seemingly suggesting that the show should come to an end.
But it seems as the rapper was planning for the roll out of his fifth solo studio, misfortune befall upon him.
I should have been a judge on @IdolsSA *sigh* … I always wanted that.
As nes started to spread, it was believed that happened to do with the still until unsolved death of his traditionally married wife Anele “Nellie’ Tembe. As reported during the latest news:

There were some speculations that Anele Tembe’s mother committed suicide too which were circulated after Nellie’s death. Her older brother Vukile has since rubbished the rumours.
Anele Tembe had two full siblings, an older brother named Vukile and a sister named Nosifo Temba.
After their mother’s untimely death, the three young children were raised by their father until he remarried. Anele Tembe’s stepmother was the daughter of the 8th King of the Zulu nation- Princess Ntandoyesizwe.

Until her untimely death, Anele Tembe was engaged to famous South African rapper Kiernan Forbes, popularly known as AKA.
