There is something undeniably raw about watching someone speak on grief while the person they have chosen to move forward with sits right beside them. That is exactly what unfolded on a recent episode of All The Smoke, when Nadia Nakai was asked about her healing journey after the death of rapper AKA, whose real name was Kenan Forbes, with her boyfriend Toss seated next to her on the couch.
Nadia gets candid on all the smoke
The episode, promoted by the Podcast and Chill Network on 18 September 2026, featured an emotionally open exchange filmed on the show's signature indoor set, with neon branding and a relaxed conversational atmosphere. When the host asked Nadia directly where she was in her healing from losing "one of the loves of her life," she did not shy away from the question.
"Honestly, I'm in a very good place. But I feel like healing doesn't have an end date. I think there'll be days I'm having a really good day and there'll be days I'll just have a memory and I'll feel a little bit sad."
