Hebanna! South African model and influencer Nicole Nyaba, who dated the late rapper Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes, shared that she is fearing for her life.

In a lengthy post whose screenshots were shared by entertainment blogger Maphephandaba on Thursday, 8 January 2026, Nicole Nyaba claimed that her family was using her as a blood sacrifice and that in her next life, she could end up a prisoner to them.

“I don't know what happened, but my Ndlovu family is in trouble, and they are using me as a blood sacrifice, and I'm told that in the afterlife, I'll be a prisoner to these powerful black men. They are untouchable and answer to no one, at least that's what they say, but they do fear a certain lady,” Nicole Nyaba wrote.

“I feel some of the things they do to me, and I feel weak at times. I've been trying to hold together since November 2024 because that's when it got worse. I fear my death now and fear the afterlife because they say they hate me for my mistakes, even though not everything was my fault. I didn't know anything, and they don't want me to. I pick up where I can, but I get attacked. Everyone who ever knew or knows my uncle is aware of what I'm going through,” she added.

theenissysebego asked:

“Isn’t it the second time she posts this? Or I am I wrong?”

pennymkhize said:

“Sad to see people calling this mental illness when she clearly states that the Ndlovu side of the family is trying to kill her for human sacrifice, and she only realised this when she got older. Her mom apparently was in the same position, but unfortunately, they lost with her mom because she died. What she is saying is that she wants help to leave the country before they kill her. Hhayi nina niyahlupha...this is not mental illness but a cry for help! Stop it!”

zandile_njoms asked:

“Mental health professionals, where are you?”

akhuzmi appealed:

“Nicole Nyaba has been having issues for the longest time. I pray she gets help; I pray they assist her. This is not normal. Can we please give her Grace and not make fun of her?”
