Yo fam! Have you seen that viral video of a fan named DJ Manzo visiting the grave of our late legend, Kiernan “AKA” Forbes? It had social media buzzing!
In the video, he talks about how disappointed he is with the current state of Mzansi rap music. He said, “We are so disappointed with the music we are hearing today. You left with the music, my brother. Hip-hop is dead!” And honestly, can we blame him?

Why the Fuss?
So, yeah, there’s been a lot of mixed reactions. Some users on TikTok are dragging DJ Manzo for his visit, calling it disrespectful. Like, many believe he should’ve considered AKA’s family before posting such a thing.
But others are saying, hey, he was just keeping it real. Like our mate Supreme_lebza said, there’s nothing wrong with celebrating AKA’s legacy. Just imagine if someone dropped by Bruce Lee’s grave – it wouldn’t be an issue, right?
A Tribute or Disrespect?
On the real, AKA used to keep things interesting in the Hip-Hop scene with his beefs – especially with Cassper Nyovest. That tension kept everyone on their toes!
But where’s the fire now? Reason HD has turned to Sizwe. The like of K.O., A-Reece, Emtee, Shane Eagles and Nasty C seem to be MIA. Cassper Nyovest is still trying to figure out his music genre.

It’s like the spice is gone, and DJ Manzo’s visit reminds us that we feel this loss deeply. Going to visit AKA was a way to honour him and highlight that void.
In the end, whether you agree or disagree with DJ Manzo, it’s clear that AKA held a special place in our hearts and in the Hip-Hop industry. At SurgeZirc SA, we feel ya, fam!
It’s bittersweet because, while we disagree with your methods, we understand the pain of seeing our hip-hop scene struggle For as long as entertainment is concerned SurgeZirc SA promises to keep the fire burning!
