In her post, Bragga conveyed the pain of commemorating AKA’s birthday at his gravesite as she sent 36 balloons as a tribute to the late rapper. Nadia was with Kairo Forbes, AKA’s daughter, as well as AKA’s father, Tony Forbes, and mother, Lynn Forbes.
“Happy Heavenly Birthday @akaworldwide we all miss you so much! ♾️ Got 36 balloons to send to you, and in true Kairo fashion they had to be biodegradable to not harm the environment… Today is painful.” Wrote Nadia Nakai.
Before AKA’s celestial birthday, Bragga unveiled a poignant tribute song titled Never Leave featuring Kashcpt. The track serves as a personal diary for Nadia Nakai, encapsulating her emotions as a heartfelt homage to AKA.
Currently, the Money Back hitmaker is working on an album and she described the experience as the hardest thing ever to do in his life. ” I started this project a month after he passed in hopes that it would heal me or take away my pain. It didn’t, but it started the journey of my healing as the album evolved from when I started to what it is now.” She said.
Birthdays are usually a time of celebration, a time to gather with loved ones and indulge in cake and presents. But when someone you love is no longer with you, their birthday becomes a bittersweet reminder of their absence. For Nadia Nakai, AKA’s birthday was a painful day, filled with memories and emotions that are still raw.
In a touching tribute, Nadia chose to honor AKA’s memory by sending 36 balloons to his gravesite. Each balloon symbolizing a year of his life, a year of music, laughter, and love. And in true Kairo fashion, the balloons were biodegradable, a small gesture to protect the environment that AKA cared so deeply about.
But the tribute didn’t end there. Nadia also released a heartfelt song titled “Never Leave,” a personal diary of her emotions and a way to keep AKA’s spirit alive through music. It’s a testament to the power of music and its ability to heal and connect us, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
As Nadia continues to work on her album, she acknowledges the immense challenge it brings. It’s not just about creating music; it’s about navigating the complex emotions that come with grief and loss. The album has become a part of her healing journey, a way to honor AKA’s memory and find solace in the process.
AKA’s legacy lives on through the love and support of those who knew him best. From his family to his friends, each person carries a piece of him in their hearts. And as the balloons float up into the sky, carrying messages of love and remembrance, we are reminded that even in death, AKA’s spirit soars.
