Clout Chasing Accusations and Cryptic Tweets: AKA’s Legacy in the Spotlight

In the world of South African hip-hop, drama and intrigue are never too far away. Just one day after Cassper Nyovest released a song dedicated to his former rap rival, AKA, things took an unexpected turn when AKA’s mother, Lynn Forbes, posted a series of cryptic tweets alluding to those who prey on vulnerable individuals.

Cassper Nyovest dropped his highly-anticipated seventh studio album, “Solomon,” on Friday, September 15th. Among its tracks was “Candlelight,” which appeared to be a musical reflection on his longstanding feud with the late hitmaker, AKA.

AKA, whose real name was Kiernan Forbes, tragically lost his life in February when he was shot and killed by unknown gunmen in Durban. The investigation into his murder remains ongoing, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing narrative surrounding these two hip-hop giants.

AKA’s Mom’s Cryptic Tweets

On a seemingly ordinary Saturday, Lynn Forbes, affectionately known as “Glammy,” took to Twitter and immediately caught the attention of AKA’s fan base, known as the Megacy. Her tweets hinted at deeper issues and concerns.

In one tweet, she wrote, “I love listening to lies when I know the truth.” This enigmatic statement left followers pondering its meaning and wondering if it had any connection to recent events.

Her next tweet urged people to “trust your gut” because it “never lies.” These cryptic messages seemed to be a response to something happening beneath the surface.

But Lynn Forbes didn’t stop there. She went on to state, “I will never forget who carried Kiernan through his darkest moments. The same way, I will never forget who turned their backs on him or preyed on him when he was at his most vulnerable.”

These words carried weight and implied that there may be more to the story than meets the eye. The intrigue surrounding her tweets left fans eagerly speculating about their meaning and their potential connection to the recent release of Cassper Nyovest’s song.

Cassper Nyovest’s Controversial Song

Cassper Nyovest’s track, “Candlelight,” which is believed to center around his feud with AKA, has stirred mixed emotions among fans, particularly those who were devoted to AKA.

Many of AKA’s supporters accused Cassper of “clout chasing,” suggesting that he was capitalizing on AKA’s name and legacy for his own gain. In the song, Cassper raps about the moment he learned of AKA’s tragic passing and the impact it had on him.

The lyrics go, “And when I heard it, I was just as hurt as the Megacy, Man, our battle was the highlight, I was confused when you came and gave me high fives, A very important feature in my life.”

Cassper also touches on his visit to AKA’s family after the rapper’s untimely death, expressing his initial fears and then the warmth and acceptance he received from AKA’s loved ones.

“The other day, I went to see your family, and I was scared cause I thought that they’d be mad at me. But they embraced me. Your momma is a lady, and your father might be cooler than you, maybe. Man, everybody misses you. Auntie Lynn, Uncle Tony, we are with you. And every time you feel down, we will lift you.”

While Cassper’s song may be seen as a heartfelt tribute to a fallen rival, it has undoubtedly sparked controversy, with some feeling that it was an attempt to reignite a feud and gain attention for his album release.

In the world of hip-hop, emotions run deep, and rivalries often transcend the music itself. As the mystery surrounding Lynn Forbes’s cryptic tweets continues to unravel, fans are left to wonder whether there’s more to this story than meets the eye and what the future holds for these two iconic figures in South African hip-hop.
