WATCH: Nadia Nakai gets flowers from Kairo on her first birthday without AKA

Kiernan "AKA" Forbes was shot and killed in February this year on Florida road, Durban.


Rapper and reality TV star Nadia Nakai celebrated her first birthday on Thursday without her late boyfriend Kiernan “AKA” Forbes by her side.

AKA’s mother, Lynn Forbes, took to her Instagram page and posted a heartwarming video of Kairo giving Nadia flowers for her birthday.

Wishing Nadia a happy birthday, glammy said she is grateful for the person that she is.

She added: “You are one of the most beautiful humans I know, and your light radiates from within. Thank you for being you. You are a blessing, and it is an honour to know you. Keep on shining your light into the world.

“We wish you the best, and it will come to you in ways you cannot begin to imagine. We love you.”

Nadia Nakai’s new venture

Nadia recently scored herself a hosting gig for Love & Hip Hop South Africa season 1 reunion. The highly anticipated reunion brings together the biggest stars and explosive drama from the first local season.

Dubbed an unforgettable night of entertainment and excitement, Nadia said she is honoured and thrilled to be hosting the show.

“This is an incredible opportunity to bring together the cast, share their stories, and provide a platform for them to express themselves. I can’t wait to bring the energy and make this reunion an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.”

What to expect from the reunion

In all things love and drama, Speedsta is interrogated about his new love interest, who is a very close friend to Money Badoo, while Fifi Cooper addresses the crew about her new man and how things are going between them. 

Money Badoo is asked about her apparent crush on Yanga Chief. Is there more to the big bro/little sis dynamic than they are letting on?

The tiff around between Gigi Lamayne and Money Badoo continues as Gigi tells Money Badoo to “sit down” adding that she has not achieved even half of what she has done in the game!

The Love & Hip Hop reunion South Africa will air on Saturday at 6pm on MTV, DStv channel 130 and repeat on Monday at 9pm.
