Titch’s death comes close to the death of rapper AKA, also known as Kienan Forbes. AKA was shot and murdered by unknown assailants at the front of a restaurant in Durban, Florida. AKA and Titch were said to be close friends. The closeness of their deaths is really a huge blow to South Africans who are mourning these two rappers. What a sad way to begin a week…
