AKA’s furniture allegedly removed from his home

The furniture from the late rapper AKA has allegedly been removed from his rented home in Bryanston. 

According to Sunday World, the landlord Nthsimane Mekoa terminated the lease agreement shortly after the musician’s untimely death in February this year.

A source revealed to the publication that the late rapper, whose real name is Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, was allegedly not the owner of the house  in Bryanston and was in fact renting. 

“It was not his house. He was renting the property and was paying about R40 000 a month. I know people thought this was his house because of the vehicles he was driving.”

The publication also reported that the source claimed that Nthsimane informed AKA’s family that he had ended the lease and urged them to visit the building to get his items.

Nthsimane asserted that he had a mutual arrangement with the family to move the hitmaker’s possessions, and disputed that he had evicted the slain rapper. 

“AKA passed away. There was no one staying in the apartment, so we had to get someone new,” he told the publication. 

According to the publication, the house of the AKA is currently occupied by someone else. 

It has been four months since the South African rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes was gunned down with his friend and celebrity chef Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane in Durban outside the restaurant Wish on Florida Road, which has permanently closed down since the deaths.
