On what would have been AKA’s 38th birthday, his daughter Kairo chose love over silence. Instead of hiding her grief, she shared a throwback video of them baking together. Kiernan “AKA” Forbes was killed in Durban in 2023, leaving a nation stunned and grieving.
Since then, every birthday has become both a wound and a chance to celebrate his life. In the clip, a younger Kairo hovers near the oven while her dad carefully lights the candles. Nervous but playful, she giggles and says, “I don’t want to burn myself 
”.
Baking Memories in the Kitchen
The simple kitchen scene now carries deep weight for the young star. Back then, it was just cake batter, jokes, and a proud dad watching closely. Today, it feels like a doorway into a past that ended far too soon. Yet Kairo posts it proudly, showing the world how fiercely she still loves him. Through every frame, AKA’s gentle encouragement and patience with his daughter shine brightly.
Turning Grief into Celebration
Kairo does not pretend the loss hurts less with time. Because of that, Kairo’s post feels bigger than a cute memory; it becomes a shared tribute. However, she shows that remembering him can still look warm and joyful. By sharing the video on his birthday, she turns pain into a digital celebration.
Fans flood her comments with purple hearts and comforting words from the Megacy. They remind her that South Africa remembers her father as more than a headline. Instead, people honour him as a devoted dad as well as a musical icon. Her courage encourages other grieving families to remember their loved ones in ways that feel genuine.
A Young Daughter, A Lasting Legacy
As Kairo grows, these small moments become her emotional treasure chest. Each video, photo, and caption helps her stitch together a story of enduring love. Moreover, they reveal a child learning to carry grief with courage and creativity. She cannot bring her father back, but she can keep his spirit present. And so, with one playful sentence and a throwback clip, Kairo celebrates him beautifully.
