In the interview, Nadia said she would never consider dating a rapper or anyone in the industry because of the unnecessary scrutiny she faces. She detailed what the experience of losing AKA was, when she bumped into people at the airport and had to speak about her feelings.
“I will never date anyone in the industry again. I want a very private relationship; I don't want it to get public, because if he had to die, that experience was terrible for me. I didn't like having to explain my pain to strangers at the airport. So no, I don't want to explain nonsense to people on social media ever again. So that's why I will never date a rapper or DJ, or someone who is in the public eye,” she said.
Nadia had previously dated Bandile Mbere, from the Major League DJz, in a short-lived romance. She also dated US rapper Vic Mensa, but their relationship lasted a few months. She was then in a serious relationship with rapper AKA, who was shot in Durban.
Briefly News spoke with Paula Quinsee on how to navigate new relationships while mourning a past partner.
"While it’s good to acknowledge your past, it’s also important to create clear boundaries regarding how you remember your past partner and that it doesn't encroach on and impact any new relationships."

Fans respond to Nadia Nakai's video
Below are some of the reactions from the online community.
@Thimna said:
"She will say anything to remain relevant and lie to us and say who are to have a say in her life."
@simplypanash_zw stated:
"Before AKA, I watched her Insta live, saying she doesn't like or date light-skinned guys."
Melodywestbrook_m said:
"I almost shed a tear when you spoke of the girl you were after Supamega's passing. It reminded me of myself after the passing of my boyfriend. Healing isn't easy, with people nagging, "move on", as if they have experienced it before. Anyway, I always loved how intelligent you are, your articulation and how you always carefully align your words. It's so impressive, how I wish to be such a smart cat and fluent in English."
