South Africans blast AKA’s friends for pouring alcohol on his grave
Days after the release of a tribute single by AKA’s then-girlfriend Nadia Nakai, L-Tido and other friends of AKA were seen pouring alcohol on his grave. This act occurred on January 28, 2024, which marked the late rapper’s posthumous birthday. The friends poured vodka on his grave, specifically a brand he used to promote, Cruz Vodka. AKA’s resting place is at Heroe’s Acre in Westpark Cemetery. The rapper was tragically killed on February 10, 2023, along with Tebello (Tibz) Motsoane, by hired hitmen outside a Durban restaurant.
