The rapper's mother, Lynn Forbes, soon took to the comments section and opened up about the grief she had watched her son experience. Still, remaining hopeful, Mama Forbes reminded peeps that time really does heal all wounds:
"It’s been the most difficult year, time heals but the scars will remain forever. I wish I could take your pain away, Kiernan. I continue to pray for peace and the healing of both families," she wrote.
While many South Africans felt sorry for the rapper, others were a bit confused and criticised him for constantly flaunting his new relationship with fellow musician, Nadia Nakai. Peeps just felt it was in bad taste.
