In related news, Briefly News reported that AKA's father has spoken out in his son's defence in the wake of calls to mute the rapper, who's been under pressure from social media users over the death of his fiancée Anele “Nelli” Tembe.
Investigations into her death have continued prompting social media users to use the hashtag, #MuteAKA. His father Tony Forbes came to his son's defence during an interview with TshisaLIVE. He urged people not to act too hastily and seek to cancel AKA without all the facts. Tony responded to Women For Change, an NPO which champions the rights of women.
