Nadia Nakai comforting Dj Zinhle at Tibz' Memorial Service:
Nadia on the other hand, was strong. A fact which she has showcased throughout her public appearances since the passing of AKA. The rapper and last partner to AKA has been strong throughout as she has not been seen crying in public but supporting the Forbes family and now DJ Zinhle.
Back when the matter of AKA’s death was unfathomable, Nadia showered DJ Zinhle with flowers on how she welcomed her into the co-parenting relationship when things got serious with AKA. At the time, the matter was reported as:
Nadia Nakai has made it clear on numerous occasions that she and her boyfriend's baby mama, DJ Zinhle are on good terms. During the very beginning of her and AKA's relationship, Nadia and DJ Zinhle faced scrutiny from the public who slammed them for showing love towards each other, arguing that it is not genuine.
Just recently, she and her baby daddy AKA went on vacation with each other's families. During the vacation, Nadia Nakai told OKMzansi that she has and always looked up to DJ Zinhle, even before both of them got involved with AKA.
"I've always respected her as an artist, as a mom, as a businesswoman. She's somebody that I look up to and I've always looked up to even after Kiernan...So walking into this situation she really made me feel comfortable. I did not feel that weird energy from her like, 'Oh my gosh, I don't like being around you,' she told the blog.
"She really embraced me which then also made me become comfortable. Kiernan set the precedent for both of us to make me feel comfortable as his girlfriend and not make me feel weirded out by my situation. He really was cognizant in making sure I feel comfortable," she added.
