Nadia Nakai, Lynn and Tony Forbes speak on the SneAKA

In the heartwarming video, some of AKA's close friends who were also part of his team spoke about the collaboration and what it meant to him. The Fela In Versace rapper first signed a deal with Reebok in 2019, but it went sour in 2020 when the rapper revealed that he did not make a cent from it. However, his mother, Lynn Forbes, reiterated that the parties were on good terms before his untimely passing.

Lynn added that people are going to criticise the collaboration because of the drama between AKA and Reebok.

"We really want to do this for one reason only, and that is to celebrate Kiernan.

"As long as we take this on board and make it a real celebration of Kiernan and something that Kairo can look back and say, 'Wow, what a beautiful celebration of my dad.'"

His father, Tony Forbes, shared that the sneaker speaks to who AKA was and what an example he set for other people.

"A big part of his legacy is a legacy of inspiration. This moment is about celebrating him.

The rapper's girlfriend, Nadia Nakai, spoke fondly of AKA's legacy, saying his work speaks for itself.

"His legacy is powerful. It cannot be unwritten. You don't have to do anything more to preserve what he had already done while he was still with us. When it comes to the sneaker, it is so special because it was something he was involved in when he was still here," Nadia said.
