The Megacy ensured that slain rapper AKA’s parents Tony and Lynn Forbes, along with his daughter Kairo, did not attend the Metro FM Music Awards 2023 in vain.
AKA, who was murdered in February in Durban, was the biggest winner at the awards, scooping four awards, posthumously.
His fans ensured he had enough votes to clinch Best Collaboration, Artist of the Year, Best Male Artist and Best Hip Hop Artist.
AKA’s mom Lynn, during their emotional speech, gave a heart-warming speech to her late son.
“Kiernan, you make us so proud,” she said. “We have come full circle from the first time you were in this very same city in 2011 for your first Metro FM awards.”
His daughter had tweeps all emotional with her attempt at singing her father’s award-winning song “Lemons (Lemonade)”.
After the awards, the family and his close friends visited AKA’s grave with the four new trophies which he would have added to his impressive collection.
They also brought along a South African flag, which was dear to Supa Mega.
