It’s been over a year since rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes tragically passed away, and Nadia Nakai Kandava is still processing the profound loss. The 34-year-old rapper, who was in a public relationship with AKA, continues to grieve, with many of his fans and family still feeling the void his death left behind.
In a candid interview earlier this year, Nadia opened up about the emotional toll of losing her partner. “I’m trusting God’s process,” she shared. “I’ve been through a lot of pain and sadness but am trying to focus on the good things in my life.” Despite the ongoing struggle, she remains uncertain about finding new love, as healing continues to take time.
Nadia has kept busy with her career, including her upcoming performance at Maftown Heights. She expressed excitement about being part of the iconic event once again, which celebrates hip-hop and new age music. “Maftown Heights is an exciting show, and I’m proud to be a part of it,” she said, emphasizing her passion for hip-hop as a genre.
In addition to her music, Nadia’s reality show Nadia Beyond Bragga offers fans a closer look at her life. “I want to show people what it takes to be in this industry,” she explained. “It’s important for new artists to see the challenges we face and how we overcome them.” Nadia’s resilience and dedication to her craft continue to shine through, even as she faces the personal hardships of loss.
