There have been mixed reactions on social media following a sit-down interview in which rapper AKA details the moments before Anele Tembe’s death.

Rapper Kiernan Forbes, better known as AKA, has spoken out during his first media interview addressing the death of his fiance Anele Tembe.

Forbes sat down with broadcaster Thembekile Mrototo for an exclusive interview produced by The Bar Leader TV.

The rapper said the hour-long interview, which aired on Saturday night, was his attempt at telling his side of the story following allegations that he was violent and abusive towards Tembe.

Innocent people are not scared of a police inquiry into alleged GBV. Innocent people have faith that justice will prevail, and that the legal & judicial system will be on their side. So what am I missing? #AkaInterview

“I am very passionate.”

Passionate AKA toxic?

Passionate AKA raged?

Most people have been in relationships like AKA and Anele. I don’t think the man killed her. #AkaInterview

The thing about this interview is that if you hate Aka you won’t believe his side of the story.

I’m glad he finally told his side of the story.#AkaInterview

Silence is the best answer sometimes.

No matter how truthful you might be, you cannot change the public opinion more especially Twitter. #AkaInterview
