IT’S been over a year since her boyfriend was buried. And rapper Nadia Nakai hasn’t yet moved on.
Nadia Nakai Kandava (34) was in a relationship with the late popular hip-hop star, Kiernan Forbes, who was also known as AKA, when he died.
Their relationship was public, and many loved them together.
After AKA was murdered on 10 February 2023, his family, including Nadia, were shattered. Early this year, she opened up about grief and how her lover’s death had taken a toll on her.
Daily Sun recently spoke to her, and she said she doesn’t know if she is open to finding new love.

“At the moment, I’m trusting God’s process. I’ve been going through a lot of pain and sadness but am trying to find a breakthrough to be happy and focus on the good things in my life,” Nadia said.
She shared she’ll be performing at the upcoming Maftown Heights event.
“Maftown Heights is an iconic show. It’s exciting to be a part of the line-up once again this year. It’s a show that celebrates hip-hop and new age music.”
She said hip-hop has always been the top genre for her.
“I love hip-hop. It’s all that I’ve ever done. I’m inspired by other genres, but hip-hop is my passion, as it talks about a lot of issues and culture,” she said.
Nadia also started her own reality show called Nadia Beyond Bragga.
“It’s really nice because I’m able to show people what it takes to be in this industry, the difficulties of not getting your songs on playlists. I really allow people into my space, and I think it’s inspirational for new age artists to see how it’s done.”
