It has been over a year since the Supa Mega was brutally murdered at a drive-by shooting in Durban, and Mzansi's streetwear brand GALXBOY exclusively told Briefly News that they will be doing a huge project to celebrate and honour the late rapper.
GALXBOY set to design a collection for AKA
AKA's fans can look forward to some amazing drip and accessories of the late rapper as GALXBOY plans to design a whole collection to honour the Lemonade hitmaker.
The owner and founder of the brand, Thatiso Dube, told Briefly News that they have big plans for the late AKA. He said:

"Our partnership with the star began when he released his song Lemonade and we were shocked that he knows about us and before he died he spoke about collaborating with us in doing his tour merchandise for his new album and so when he did we decided to go on with it as he designed one T-shirt for his commemoration which was our best seller for this month.
"And now are looking at more items like Tracksuits, T-shirts, jwellery etc. It is going to be our ongoing collection throughout the year and we wish to do this every year. The family is happy about the collection and you know I speak to his parents weekly, so I think this will be something we would do yearly."
The Kiernan Forbes Foundation posted the news of a pop-up exhibition to honour the late rapper's birthday, set for 26 to 28 January 2024. The showcase partnered with Bravado and GALXBOY, taking place at SOOK, Mall of Africa.
