AKA Legacy Team Thanks Fans Following AKA’s 38th Heavenly Birthday Celebrations. The South African music scene continues to carry the name of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes with pride, more than three years after the Supa Mega’s tragic passing in February 2023.
On what would have been AKA’s 38th birthday, his legacy was warmly celebrated through a heartfelt message shared on the official @akaworldwide X account, managed by the AKA Legacy Team. Accompanied by an emotional video tribute, the post expressed gratitude to everyone who continues to honour his life and impact.
“To The Megacy, radio, culture pages, artists who celebrated AKA’s life and legacy, the family, Vth Season and Sony, thank you for keeping his spirit alive in the most beautiful way 
#AKATurns38,” the message read.

The tribute served as a sincere thank-you from the custodians of AKA’s estate and creative legacy. It acknowledged the unwavering dedication of his fans, known as the Megacy, whose loyalty has kept his music in constant rotation, his name alive in conversations, and his influence thriving across radio, social media, and popular culture.
Fellow artists, cultural commentators, and media platforms committed to preserving South African hip-hop history were also recognised for their continued tributes through performances, remixes, dedications, and storytelling.
Special recognition was given to Vth Season, AKA’s longtime management and production label and now a key guardian of his posthumous work, alongside Sony Music Entertainment Africa. Both have played a vital role in ensuring that projects such as his final album, Mass Country, reached global audiences and earned multi-platinum success. The Forbes family was also honoured for steering the legacy forward with dignity, intention, and love.
Since his passing in Durban, the Megacy has turned collective grief into a powerful movement of remembrance. From annual birthday tributes and #AKAFridays listening sessions to fan-led initiatives and consistent chart performance, AKA’s catalogue continues to resonate. His sharp lyricism, bold ambition, and unmistakable sound still inspire new listeners while reminding longtime fans why he remains one of Mzansi’s most influential artists.
