Although Zinhle and AKA are no longer together, their co-parenting relationship left many in awe and Zinhle also had a tight-knit relationship with AKA's moM, Lynn Forbes.
Zinhle attended AKA's memorial service on Friday afternoon and sat in the front seat, next to her child Kairo Forbes. In spite of the fact that she sat there to support her child emotionally and physically over the loss of her father, trolls dragged her.
A Twitter user accused Zinhle of acting like AKA's first lady, and the comment rubbed many people the wrong way who defended Zinhle.
Now that are emotions are down,

Can we discuss why Zinhle was behaving like she was AKA's first lady.
Zinhle was supposed to sit at the second row at memorial service.
Another Twitter user wrote "In my culture,Kairo would have been accompanied to bury his dad by other family members not Zinhle. It will never make sense that a wife to someone is crying because an ex has died. Imagine me and my mother attending a funeral of my ex yet I’m married to someone else."

Imagine me and my mother attending a funeral of my ex yet I’m married to someone else 😞
It was very awkward.. Everything was Zinhle this.. Zinhle that.. She's married into another family for God's sake.. It was ok for her to go witj Kairo as her mother but the attention she got even Nandi didnt get the same..I thnk Namdi is still wondering what was all that about.

DJ Zinhle's fans have defended her by questioning who was supposed to sit with Kairo.
LeratoMannya wrote "I really don’t understand why DJ Zinhle has been getting the amount of flack she has been getting for just… being there to support her child through the loss of her father. Why do you guys use cultural practices to be such POS? Why are your egos so fragile?
Lerato_seko wrote "So do you mean Kairo should have sat alone in the front and when she needs her mum go to the back?? These people have a civilized relationship get in the program please."

In other news, AKA's girlfriend Nadia Nakai, has finally broken her silence over the rapper's passing.
Taking to Instagram, Nadia expressed disbelief at the fact that she will never ever see AKA ever again.
"My Heart is shattered, this is not what our future was meant to look like. I can’t believe I said my final goodbye to you yesterday. I’ll never see you again for the rest of my lifetime? You loved me loud and proud, thank you baby. Protected me, Prayed for me, inspired me.
"I find it hard to breathe let alone find the words to explain how much I love you. I’m really going to miss all the special moments we’ve had. This really hurts! I can’t come to terms with the fact that I’ll never hear you say you love me, I’ll never hear your laugh," a very heartbroken Nadia wrote.
"We had plans," she continued. "There is no pain bigger than the pain of losing you. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with you, I realise you’re the one who spent the rest of your life with me. I don’t know why things happen the way they do, but I’m questioning God right now. Why would he bring us together to only take you away. I just don’t understand. I don’t know how I’m going to do this, going on with my life without you, I just can’t. Rest in peace Kiernan, I love you."
