South African media personality and TV host, Nadia Nakai, has revealed that she will never date a rapper or anyone in the entertainment industry again following the tragic death of her late boyfriend, Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.
In an interview with Fresh Men Magazine, Nakai said she now prefers a private relationship away from the public eye, stressing that the pain of losing a high-profile partner was overwhelming.
“I will not date another rapper or anybody in the [entertainment] industry ever again. I never want to do that again. I want to have a very private relationship. I don’t want it to be public because if he had to die, that experience was terrible for me,” she said.
The rapper’s ex-girlfriend explained that she disliked having to share her grief with strangers and social media users after AKA’s passing.
“I didn’t like having to explain my pain to strangers at the airport. I don’t want to explain nonsense to people on social media. So, I will never date a rapper or anybody in the public eye,” she added.
AKA was shot dead by a gunman outside a restaurant in Durban on February 10, 2023. The trial into his murder is still ongoing.
