Lynn Forbes opens up about AKA’s last words to her

AKA’s mom, Lynn Forbes, revealed her last conversation with the hip-hop sensation before he was gunned down on Florida road in February alongside his friend, Tebello Motsoane, an entrepreneur and celebrity chef.

The rapper and celebrity chef were killed in Durban on the 10th of February 2023 outside a popular restaurant called Wish, which recently closed down due to the incident that had occurred, hence the permanent closure of the establishment.

In a recent interview with You, Lynn Forbes, who is popularly known as Glammy, said she saw AKA the day he got shot.

“When we left around lunchtime, he asked me if we’d checked the car and the wheel alignment. I told him I had done so at the garage, and he said, ‘No, Mom, you have to check it at the dealership’,” she told the publication. 

“He kept teasing us about our trip in the country and said we were making as if we were going overseas. He hugged me, said, ‘I love you’, and wished us a good weekend,” she continued.

The mother of the slain rapper also revealed to the publication that she was out with her sister Trudy and brother-in-law Trevor when she heard the devastating news of her son’s passing.

She said her son Steffan called Trevor at around 22:00 to inform him that AKA had died and she was inconsolable.

“I thought it was my mom. At first, he couldn’t speak, then he said, ‘No, it’s Kiernan,” she said exclusively to You.

“I didn’t want anybody to touch me until Steffan came after an hour and hugged me and said he would take care of everything,” she continued.
