Yanga Chief has evidently shown that the passing of his friend AKA cuts deep.
Yanga Chief and AKA’s friendship started in 2006 when they met at a hip-hop gathering in Cape Town. At the time, AKA was part of the hip-hop group called Entity, and Yanga Chief was an up-and-coming rapper.
Their initial meeting led to a collaborative effort on a song, which marked the beginning of their musical partnership and friendship. Over time, they developed a strong bond built on mutual respect, trust, and a shared passion for music.
Their friendship was built on mutual respect and admiration for each other’s talent. In the past, he has spoken highly of AKA’s work ethic and has credited him with teaching him valuable lessons in the music industry.
After AKA’s passing, Yanga penned a heartfelt tribute titled “One Of One,” where he expressed his grief, celebrated AKA’s life, and emphasised the importance of seeking justice for his friend. His tribute showcased the depth of their friendship and the significant impact AKA had on his life and career.
Their bond was not limited to music; they shared a deep personal connection, which is evident in the emotional tributes Yanga Chief has paid to AKA.
During an interview with veteran radio presenter DJ Fresh, before he could answer, he looked to pull himself together and proceeded to answer and admitted that he misses AKA and his light energy. He further shared that he was the only person who noticed him when no one else did, whilst he continued wiping his tears between the sentences.
Fans who heard the hurt in his voice even though he tried hard to contain himself felt sorry and shared words of encouragement wishing him a full recovery from his friend’s death.
