South African model and influencer Nicole Nyaba has set social media alight after dropping a subtle hint that she may be ready to return to music. A short Instagram post from her official account, @nicolenyabaofficial, simply read:

“I want to make music again. 🤍”

Nicole Nyaba's musical roots

Nyaba, born on 3 December 1992 in Durban, built her public profile through modelling, social media and appearances in music videos, most notably AKA's "One Time." Her connection to the late rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes kept her firmly in the entertainment spotlight, but her own musical aspirations have always run alongside that narrative.

As far back as 2019, she began shifting her focus towards music more seriously, stepping away from club hosting to pursue the craft. That year she released her debut single Madonna and later featured on Southside Mohammed's Out & In, offering fans a first real taste of her as an artist in her own right. She has spoken previously about feeling a deep connection to music from childhood and receiving encouragement from those close to her to follow that path.

A new chapter taking shape?

The timing of her post carries some weight. Over the past few years, Nyaba has been candid about navigating heartbreak, family challenges and personal healing. The desire to channel those experiences into music feels like a natural next step for someone who has lived so publicly through difficult periods.

That said, there is nothing confirmed yet. No single album or release date has been announced. Whether it translates into an actual studio project remains to be seen, but for fans who followed her early musical steps, the message is enough to spark genuine excitement.
