AKA's publicist, Phumza Nohashe, told TshisaLIVE that the rapper is doing as well as he can be given the circumstances but he's still shocked, trying to make sense of the situation.
AKA and Nelli got engaged in February and were ready to spend their lives together. The rapper had even paid lobola to the Tembe family so that he could marry his girl. Unfortunately, she passed away before they could make it down the aisle.
Police are still investigating the cause of Nelli's death after she allegedly fell from the 10th floor of a hotel in Cape Town.
Briefly News previously reported that Scoop Makhathini is worried about AKA's energy after the Nelli Tembe tragedy. Scoop Makhathini is not one to mince his words.
In a POPcast podcast chat recently, the media personality opened up about how the industry had been worried about AKA and Nelli Tembe since December. This followed reports that the young woman had tried to jump from a window at the Hilton Hotel in Durban.
Although reports did not specifically name Nelli, many were able to connect the dots, according to Scoop. The podcast host proceeded to drop a bombshell when he said that he had been worried about AKA’s energy and what he attracted.
