"I’m So Proud Of You Baby"- Nadia Nakai Gushes Over AKA

Award-winning South African rapper Nadia Nakai has taken to Instagram to gush over her boyfriend Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, popularly known as AKA.

The rapper’s much-anticipated album, Mass Country, was released posthumously today on the global streaming platform Spotify. Mass Country is trending on Twitter and The Megacy has given it a thumbs up.

The album was produced and completed before the rapper’s untimely death. AKA was assassinated outside the Wish restaurant on Florida Road, Durban.

His album features a host of South Africa’s hottest Hip Hop talent including Khuli Chana, Blxckie, Nadia Nakai, Emtee, Yanga Chief, Sjava, and more. Nadia shared a picture of herself looking at Mass Country’s artwork in a building and captioned the post, “I can’t believe this is happening without you. I’m so proud of you baby. You did it. MASS COUNTRY OUT NOW‼️ ❤️,” she wrote.

“AKA was one of the few people who could be classified as a South African Hip Hop megastar and we are honoured to be able to continue to share his music with his fans both in South Africa and all over the world,” says Warren Bokwe, Lead Music Strategy and Operations for Spotify Sub-Saharan Africa.

“They say nothing is forever don’t forget to pray
All I know is since I met you nothing was the same
Your name is a tattoo on my heart I cannot laser
This time is the last time, I do pray to God we do not break up.”😭😭🥺🥺 #MassCountry pic.twitter.com/elcB64ZB0d
