Kairo Forbes, the daughter of slain rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes has spoken out for the first time since his passing. Through her Instagram page managed by her Glammy, Lynn Forbes, Kairo said she loves her father, and added that he was a good father.
Kairo Forbes had the most beautiful relationship with her father AKA and together they became goals! After everyone in the family had spoken, out about their heartbreak following AKA's death, Kairo was the last one to do so.
"I love you, and mmh...he was a good dad, and I love him," said Kairo in the audio talking to her mother DJ Zinhle.
Social media users flooded her comments section with comforting words to Kairo, oblivious to the fact that the page is managed by her Glammy.
At his memorial service, Kairo was comforted by Pearl Thusi's daughter, Thando Mokoena. Zinhle was proud of Thando and the way in which she was raised by Pearl.
"My baby Thando Mokoena. Thank you Pearl Thusi She really took care of Kairo."
Zinhle penned a heartfelt note to AKA and promised him that she and her husband Murdah Bongz will take good care of Kairo.
"Kiernan, I am so sorry that you have been robbed of your time with your daughter, with @nadianakai, Steffan, your mom @lynnforbesza , dad and all of us. I would give anything for Kairo to have more time with you Kiernan. The thought of her asking questions breaks me. What do I do when she misses and needs you? Please watch over her and plead with The Almighty to guide Bongani @murdahbongz and I as we raise our daughter.
"The last time I saw you, you told me how proud you are of us and how well we were co-parenting, we had come a long way and even though it challenged a lot of people in how well we co-parented. It was never about society or us, it was always about our daughter and what was best for her," she wrote.
"We quickly learnt that our differences would not be a burden for our daughter, our past mistakes could not deprive our daughter of a happy childhood with love from both mom and dad. I am so glad we figured it out, it’s as if we knew you would not be around long enough. Thank you for loving her the way you did. We will continue to do what’s best for her, we will raise her in a loving environment that encourages forgiveness, one that is deeply rooted in the great spirit of being a family…over everything else. We are all responsible for her happiness now, my family and yours will pull together to make sure she is the happiest girl in the world...exactly how you always made her feel."
Zinhle added, "Good night Kiernan. You told me God is in control, I will hold on to these words as we piece together the pieces of our shattered hearts. We will comfort and love Nadia, she is family now. God bless you."
