Although AKA, a fellow rapper whose real name was Kiernan Forbes, was still being remembered by music enthusiasts, Costa Titch died suddenly. The South African Police Service (SAPS) is still looking into the shooting that took place outside a restaurant in Durban involving unidentified hitmen. It’s interesting to note that Costa Titch and AKA both contributed to the song Super Soft.
