Tony Forbes, AKA’s father, has decided to break his silence regarding the troubling videos of his son and his late fiancée, Anele “Nelli” Tembe.
Tony reveals that there is “another side to the story” that he hopes will be revealed soon. AKA, whose real name is Kiernan Forbes, faced allegations of physical and mental abuse towards Tembe, who tragically fell to her death in 2021.

Since AKA’s passing almost a year ago, social media has revisited videos depicting the toxic relationship between AKA and Tembe. One video shows Tembe in distress and being comforted by a friend of AKA, expressing anguish. Another clip allegedly filmed by AKA reveals a heated argument, resulting in a trashed hotel room. AKA is heard saying: “When we go to court, this is what I want people to see.”

Responding to these videos, Tony Forbes defended his son, emphasizing the need to consider context. He pointed out that the publicized videos are one-sided and don’t show what happened before or after certain incidents. Tony stated that AKA acknowledged Tembe’s struggles but chose not to disrespect her memory. He hinted at a more comprehensive perspective that would be presented during the inquest into Tembe’s death.
Tony also spoke about AKA suffering in silence, mentioning incidents where AKA had visible injuries. He emphasized the unfairness of the situation and suggested that AKA’s side of the story would be revealed in due course during the official inquiry.
