South African rapper Nadia Nakai recently found herself at the centre of controversy when a video of her twerking with Nigerian fashion designer Swanky Jerry went viral.
The clip, which was shared on the X platform, sparked a heated debate on social media, with some criticising Nakai for allegedly disrespecting her late boyfriend, AKA, who passed away earlier this year.

The video shows Nakai wearing a raunchy outfit and dancing provocatively with Swanky Jerry during her visit to Lagos for gigs. While some fans defended her actions, arguing that she has the right to move on since she was not married to AKA, others expressed disappointment in her behaviour so soon after AKA’s death.
The controversy surrounding Nakai’s twerking video highlights the often intense scrutiny that celebrities face in the age of social media. Every move they make is analyzed and critiqued by the public, leading to heated debates and divided opinions.
In this case, the video became a lightning rod for discussions about grief, mourning, and the appropriate amount of time one should wait before moving on after the loss of a loved one.
It’s important to remember that everyone grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way to mourn the loss of a partner. While some may find solace in moving forward and embracing new experiences, others may need more time to heal. It is not our place to judge or dictate how someone should navigate their grief journey.
Nakai’s supporters argue that she has every right to live her life and find happiness, regardless of the opinions of others.
They point out that she was not married to AKA and therefore should not be expected to adhere to societal expectations of mourning. After all, grief is a deeply personal experience, and no one can truly understand the complexities of another person’s emotions and healing process.
On the other hand, those who criticise Nakai believe that her actions were disrespectful to AKA’s memory. They argue that it is too soon for her to be twerking and engaging in such public displays of affection with someone else.
They question whether she has truly processed her grief and suggest that she may be using Swanky Jerry as a way to distract herself from the pain of losing AKA.
After she said she won’t date anyone after the Goat 🐐 AKA 😭😭
