Da L.E.S Pays Tribute To AKA On Father’s Day With Heartfelt Throwback Post. On a day dedicated to celebrating the irreplaceable role of fathers, South African rapper Da L.E.S turned to memories and music to honour someone who meant just that — a father, a friend, a brother in rhyme.
Taking to social media, the North God shared a poignant photo of himself alongside the late Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, captioned simply: “Happy Father’s Day”. The image, though not new, struck a fresh chord with fans — a silent nod to the enduring bond the two shared and a touching tribute to the father that AKA was.
Though brief, the message spoke volumes. It wasn’t just a celebration of fatherhood—it was a powerful homage to the bond between two industry icons and fathers who stood as pillars in each other’s lives.
Da L.E.S and AKA (real name Kiernan Forbes) shared a rich history that extended beyond the studio. From chart-topping hits like “All Eyes on Me” to being godfathers in each other’s personal lives, their relationship was a blend of brotherhood, fatherhood, and mutual respect.
The post served as a reminder of AKA’s enduring legacy—not just as a musical giant but as a father to his daughter, Kairo. It also spotlighted the quiet strength of Da L.E.S., who continues to hold the memory of his friend close, especially on days as meaningful as this.
In a culture that often celebrates bravado, Da L.E.S’s message was a refreshing nod to vulnerability, memory, and the unbreakable ties that live on—even when legends fall.
