The household furniture belonging to slain rapper AKA, who flaunted a fleet of luxury vehicles worth millions of rands on social media, has been removed from his rented house in Bryanston.
This after the muso’s landlord, Nthsimane Mekoa, terminated the lease agreement shortly after his untimely death.
The embarrassing titbits will put paid to claims that AKA owned the property, which he flaunted on television when he was shooting his popular show The Braai Show with AKA.
This will further put to bed claimed that the house bond, which is worth over R4-million, has been settled with money his estate received from his life
cover and will be bequeathed to his nominated beneficiaries.
“It was not his house. He was renting the property and was paying about R40 000 a month. I know people thought this was his house because of the vehicles he was driving,” said AKA’s close ally, who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation.
Among the fleet of vehicles the Supa Mega was driving, was a BMW i8 worth at least R2-million and BMW X7 worth over R2.6-million he bought shortly before his death.
The ally said Mekoa told AKA’s family he had terminated the lease agreement and asked them to go to the complex and collect his belongings .
“They collected and apparently locked them up in storage,” said the ally.
This despite AKA, born Kiernan Forbes, allegedly paying his rent in advance until September this year.
When Sunday World visited the luxury apartment this week, a neighbour revealed that AKA’s unit had been occupied by a new tenant since April. “The apartment is already taken. The landlord got a new tenant over a month ago. It is just a normal person, no one famous. The apartment was empty after AKA passed away and then his family came to take his things.”
The neighbour also revealed the Lemonade hitmaker had moved into the apartment with media personality Bonang Matheba, shortly before the media darling started filming her reality television show Being Bonang Season 3. “I remember they moved in
together when they were still dating. It was fully furnished and then Bonang removed the furniture and added her own then left everything there with AKA when they broke up.”
Mekoa denied that he evicted the star, stating that he had a mutual agreement with the family to move his belongings.
“AKA passed away. There was no one staying in the apartment, so we had to get someone new,” he said.
Mekoa also denied the unit was paid well in advance, saying he could not divulge details of the contract because it was private. “The lease agreement was between the two of us. I can’t tell you what it states. It is a private matter between me and him and it will remain such.”
AKA was gunned down outside Wish restaurant in Durban in February in what is believed to have been a hit.
Almost five months after his murder, no suspect has been arrested.
