Lynn Forbes took to the comments section, saying AKA is with her in spirit “Kiernan will be there in spirit with you every step of the way. Put your chin up. Really nice… You’ve got this, and we’ve got you covered.”

Some of her celebrity friends came to supoort her, including AKA’s friends. Nomuzi ‘Moozlie’ Mabena , Don Design, Siya Mdluli were all in the Instagram snaps with her.
Nadia performed her own songs and the song Dangerous where she featured in it alongside Blxckie in AKA’s posthumous album, Mass Country.
If her Instagram stories are anything to go by, she had the support of her fans and of the Megacy. She looked happy to be doing what she loves for the people that had been in her corner supporting her ever since she lost her partner in a tragic manner.
