South African rapper, producer, and entrepreneur AKA, also known as Kiernan Forbes, was a multifaceted figure in the entertainment industry.
While he was celebrated for his talents and larger-than-life persona, there was a lesser-known aspect of his personality: his knack for delivering subtle disses.
AKA’s sharp wit and clever wordplay allowed him to deliver biting remarks and criticisms in a way that left his targets taken aback. Whether through his music or social media, AKA’s ability to throw shade with elegance became essential to his persona.

But AKA’s wit and humour weren’t just reserved for his music; they permeated his interactions as well.
Those close to him, including famed TV presenter and actress Pearl Thusi, can attest to this. Thusi, known for her role in “Queen Sono,” was a close confidante of AKA. She often found herself on the receiving end of Forbes’ quick wit and sharp humour.
One memorable instance stands out in her memory: the Comedy Central Roast of AKA. In a recent Instagram post, Pearl Thusi revisited the time when the late rapper called her a clown and subsequently requested her to host his roast.
She wrote, “Throwback to when Kiernan called me a clown and still asked me to host his Roast 😂🙄😒 and had to convince the Viacom execs I could do it.”
The Comedy Central Roast of AKA took place in 2019 and was a highly televised event where AKA was the main attraction. Comedians and celebrities took turns delivering jokes, insults, and comedic jabs in a friendly manner, all aimed at AKA.
The content of these jokes revolved around AKA’s career, personal life, and perhaps even his social media presence.
Thusi’s reflection on the event underscores AKA’s unique ability to deliver a diss with a certain charm. Even when he was the centre of the comedic abuse, he retained his wit and humour.
AKA’s request for Thusi to host the roast, despite having previously called her a clown, is a testament to his playful nature and ability to mix business with humour. AKA was indeed a multi-talented personality with a unique sense of humour.
His talents extended beyond his music, and his ability to deliver subtle disses with finesse is something those close to him will remember. The Comedy Central Roast of AKA stands as a shining example of his quick wit and humorous personality.
