AKA, the renowned South African rapper, not only gained fame for his music but also captivated public interest with his extravagant lifestyle, especially his dating escapades.
His mother, Lynn Forbes, recently shared how she managed to keep up with her son’s dating life and embrace all of his girlfriends.
In a conversation with SA Hip Hop Mag, Lynn Forbes revealed that her ability to accept her son’s partners stems from her upbringing and the familial dynamics she inherited.
She explained, “This is how I was raised. My mom has always been someone who doesn’t distinguish between in-laws. When we got married, four girls, two boys, the moment you have a spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend, those people become part of the family.”
Lynn Forbes also discussed AKA’s relationships, including his on-again, off-again romance with DJ Zinhle. She emphasized that their focus was always on the youngest family member, Kairo.
“We as a family always advocate that you have to put your focus on the youngest members of the family. So in our case, it was Kairo, and now Asante is also there,” she said.
However, supporting DJ Zinhle and prioritizing Kairo during the period when AKA was dating Bonang caused some challenges.
Lynn Forbes admitted that AKA gave her a hard time about taking pictures with DJ Zinhle and sharing them on social media. She understood his concerns but also knew the importance of maintaining a connection with the mother of her grandchild.
“I also know who I am, and who I am is somebody who’s not going to push away the mother of my grandchild, and Kiernan will also not,” she added.

“It’s just that in the moment, you need to do what you need to do. So, for me, it’s about being consistent and showing up the way I know I am.”
Lynn Forbes’s open-mindedness and commitment to family unity have undoubtedly played a significant role in navigating the complexities of her son’s dating life. Her approach serves as a reminder that love and acceptance can transcend any relationship status.
