Although the fans of the stars loved the content they were seeing from the celebrity timelines, they also questioned the timing of the trip while Mzansi was mourning rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.
The Mama I made it hitmaker took to social media prior to his trip to share with his fans that he won’t be able to make it to the memorial or funeral because of “business trip.”
Unfortunately I’ll be out of the country for work but if I was around I would’ve went. I would’ve went to the funeral too. No matter how you look at it, me and Kiernan shared a lot of great moments together and he contributed to my industry so I have to pay my respects. https://t.co/wXzTjWyajZ
