‘Just trying to fill the gap’: Peeps have come to Tony’s defence after he was accused of having ulterior motives for gifting Nadia a necklace.

Since the passing of South African rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, his family have stuck tightly together even making room for Nadia Nakai who had been dating the star at the time of his death. AKA’s father, Tony Forbes, has been especially close to Nadia, accompanying her to performances, taking pictures together and now buying her gifts.

Heading online, Nadia unboxed the GalxBoy necwhile thanking Tony and tagging the designer. While it all appears to very innocent and quite thoughtful, some have raised eyebrows around how close Nadia and Tony have become since Tony’s passing.

Nadia Nakai and AKA were dating for just over a year when he was shot and killed in Durban in February this year.

After the senseless murder, the Forbes family, together with AKA’s “baby momma” DJ Zinhle, came together to support one another.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Nadia shared a short clip of herself unboxing the gift which some feel is inappropriate.

MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING?

A screenshot of Nadia’s post was then sent to gossip blog Maphephandaba. The sender pointed out that Nadia and Tony have been very close as of late basically insinuating that something sinister could be happening.

Responding to the post, here’s what other South Africans have had to say:

“We’re such a damaged people that any act of kindness is misconstrued as a sexual gesture,” wrote one person while another added:

“The Dad is just trying to fill the gap,AKA had supportive parents from the on set. So his just tying to show her appreciation as his son did. Kanti why are our ppl so narrow minded.”
