1. Tony Forbes proud of AKA for paying lobola for Anele "Nelli" Tembe
Before AKA dated Nadia Nakai, he was engaged to Anele "Nelli" Tembe. Proud that his son was taking the necessary steps in adulthood, Tony shared a photo where it looked like the rapper and his family members went to ask for Anele's hand in marriage.
Unfortunately, the wedding day was never held because Nelli committed suicide at a Cape Town hotel by allegedly jumping off a balcony. Since then, there have been rumours about who was responsible for the murder, and AKA's name came up because he was with Anele on that fateful day.
Many people who believe the Company rapper is guilty even called for AKA's music to be muted from radio and streaming services.
IOL reported that Tony slammed Women for Change. The organisation created awareness about gender-based violence in South Africa (GBV) and was at the forefront of calling for AKA to be cancelled. Mr Forbes criticised the organisation for concluding without hearing Supa Mega's side of the story.
“You want to take away a man’s bread and butter on the basis of an unnamed source who sent images showing him breaking down a door, nothing more? Have you actually engaged the verifiable facts?"
2. AKA's dad Tony Forbes trolls him
AKA and Tony had a great father-son relationship. They made fun of each other without hesitation, which could explain why Supa Mega had thick skin when social media trolls attacked him.
In 2022, Tony posted a picture of himself next to AKA's portrait. Mr Forbes sarcastically mocked AKA, claiming he has a massive head.
Many people found the post hilarious, including AKA's mother, Lynn Forbes, who commented that because AKA is a carbon copy of his father.
"So, he really is your child! ," said Lynn.
3. AKA hypes Tony Forbes
Tony shared two other pictures after AKA was assassinated that clearly showed where Supa Mega got his larger-than-life personality. In the photos, the father and son looked like they were entertaining a crowd at a function.
According to Tony's caption, they showed off their impressive vocals for the onlookers.
"Sing Daddy, you do it better than me ❤️"
4. Tony Forbes vibes to AKA's music at the memorial service
Tony couldn't help but pay tribute to his son in the best way he knew how during Supa Mega's memorial service on February 17.
A video of Tony dancing to AKA's music trended on social media. Take a look at the clip that was posted by @Noiretvnetwork:

Bragga finally mustered the courage to return to work and performed a gig at Rockets Menlyn on Saturday night.
Tony Forbes tagged along, and he and Nadia posted Instagram stories of their sweet moment honouring AKA on stage.
