Specifically, the former music executive turned friend of every podcast and Youtube channel that will have him Nota “Nhlamulo” Baloyi. It seems that instead of paying his respects to AKA's loved ones and his actual close friends, Nota opted to use this moment as he has used his wife, Mihlali Ndamase, Pearl Thusi, Emtee, JMPD police officers, etc… in the past; and that is by seemingly riding on public participation and perception to once again trend.

As soon as the visuals of AKA final moments were leaked, visuals that will not be shared out of sensitivity in this article, conspiracy theories have been rife on social media. However, one that has seemed to catch on fire is the one that was purported and spread by none other than allegedly mentally in challenge Nota.
This is as he “suggested that AKA’s team was involved in his passing. But specifically, as videos started to trend, visuals that will not be shared out of sensitivity in this article, the most villainized character in the whole matter was a close friend, fashion designer, and DJ, Don Design.

Even the likes of friends to both AKA and Don Design have asserted that Don Design is innocent and deserves time to process not only losing two close friends. But acknowledging the death of a long-time friend and collaborator,
While there is a conspiracy, it continues to thrive on social media, in an updated report. It seems that AKA’s body has arrived home. According to recent reports, the body is finally back in Johannesburg.

A resting place which is apt for the rapper who was part of establishing that the basic definition of “being” or living like being “born” in the North of Johannesburg is meant to signify.
