South African rapper, Kiernan Forbes, also known as AKA, has mourned the death of his fiancée, Nellie Tembe.
Eelive.ng had reported that Nellie died earlier this month after she fell from the tenth floor of the Pepper Club Hotel in Cape Town, two months after they got engaged.
In a statement by the AKA on Friday through his official Instagram page, he said his Late Fiancée’s death has taken a great toll on him, emotionally and psychologically.
The rap artiste thanked everyone for their support during this difficult time in his life. He further stated that he has entrusted his team to handle all of his affairs in the public domain including all his social media platforms.
He wrote, “I have lost the love of my life… and every day feels like a mountain to climb. I miss Anele, so much, and I’m heartbroken at the unfulfilled life we had planned together.
“The tragic loss of Anele has taken a great toll on me, emotionally and psychologically. Insinuations and innuendos made on my personhood have made it even more difficult to process and the strain our families have taken is unspeakable – which is why at this time, I choose to retreat to honour my journey, praying that the moments of stillness may bring me closer to some clarity.”
“I wish to convey my gratitude to all the people who have supported me during this difficult time in my life; my mom, Lynn, and dad, Tony, Bab’ Moses and Ndabezitha, my brother, Steffan, my family (both Forbes and Tembe), my heartfelt gratitude to you all.
“To my business associates, political leaders, industry peers and elders, friends and my neighbours, thank you for rallying around me. Last but not least, to my incredibly loyal fans, the MEGACY, your collective love and support have brought me much comfort.
“As we undergo this painful journey, I have entrusted my team to handle all of my affairs in the public domain, including all my social media platforms. Please respect our privacy as we go through our grieving process, and please continue to keep our families in your prayers. Love & Blessings Kiernan Forbes.”
