“Our son was loved and he gave love in return. “To us, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, was a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, most importantly father to his beloved daughter Kairo. I also convey my condolences to his family, may his soul rest in peace,” Lamola said.

At this time, however, no announcements of an arrest have been made.

A drive-by shooting is a common trope in gangsta rap - but a disturbing new development in South African hip-hop.

Of course, he was always amply supported by legions of fans called the “Megacy” with AKA as the infallible figurehead of a fanatical throng of loyalists. He claimed his latest suite of songs was meant for all music lovers and not just hip-hop heads.

AKA, like most of his hip-hop peers, didn’t do much to dissociate himself from the violence in US rap. He may not have been the most lyrical rapper or most gifted musician of his generation, but he certainly had the audacity to be a once-in-a-generation pop culture icon. He was based in the country’s biggest city, Johannesburg, where he hunkered down atop the hip-hop food chain for more than a decade. The 35-year-old AKA was born in Cape Town as Kiernan Jarryd Forbes – and would later also tag himself as Supa Mega or Bhova.
