The loss of one of South Africa’s (and the world’s) finest Hip Hop musicians has been difficult for many South Africans to accept during the past few months. After the death of their friend and colleague Kiernan Forbes, aka AKA, the Forbes family had a difficult time processing the tragedy and moving on with their lives. However, it appears that the South Africans were not sympathetic to their plight.
The Forbes family reportedly won’t be rejoicing in their misfortune after learning that millions of young South Africans have been filming content on the graves of deceased rappers thanks to a Tik Tok video that has since gone viral. Each day brings a new video from the South African rapper who has been given the opportunity to tour the country and record his music. Millions of South Africans are deeply split about this new development.
However, there are those who believe the rapper should be allowed to rest in peace and that his family should have opted for a private burial to avoid being seen and the current crisis. This is especially true if the rapper was an icon and his tombstone was a tourist attraction, allowing fans to pay their respects in their spare time.
“Not sure what to make of this; this is the fourth tiktok I’ve seen in a week. The Forbes family should go to a graveyard of their own choosing “sad South African stated. \ Do not be envious; “Hands are for everyone.” as the other guy fights.
Is it good that South Africans keep digging up graves for “content,” or should we leave the man rest in peace and allow his family time to heal?
I really don’t know how to feel about this hey, this is the fourth tiktok I’ve seen this week. Forbes fam should have gone for a private cemetery🤷🏾♂️. pic.twitter.com/xyeXrKagcc
