AKA: Manchester United's Most Famous South African Supporter

• The great AKA was a very proud and vocal supporter of the world's biggest club Manchester United
• He went as far as having the club's badge tattooed on his left arm
• Ironically, in hindsight, he once paid tribute to the team's first-team assistant coach Benni McCarthy

"Hy lekker, lekker vis and chips!"

This is a line from the late, great AKA's super smash hit 'Fela In Versace'. He took it from current Manchester United first-team coach Benni McCarthy's sensational collaboration 'Shibobo' with TKZee that took the world by storm in 1998 ahead of the FIFA World Cup in France.

The irony can't be lost on us all, as Kiernan Forbes was a staunch, until-I-die Red Devils supporter. He never missed the opportunity to show his love for the world's biggest sports team, taking the opportunity to profess his love for the club when the opportunity arose.

He even went as far as having the club's crest tattooed on his upper arm.

His passion for the team first came to the surface at the start of 2016, right in the middle of the tumultuous reign at Old Trafford of Louis 'The Iron Tulip' van Gaal.

He was a guest on 'Thursday Night Live With Robert Marawa' on SuperSport. This saw him banter with Mamelodi Sundowns star Bongani Zungu.

AKA is gone but will never be forgotten. Kiernan Forbes was murdered on Friday in Durban in what many have concluded to be a hit.

Tributes for the slain rapper have come in from far and wide as the nation deals with his violent death. Memories of his past exploits have resurfaced as many a fan of his reminisces. This includes two performances on the popular sports magazine show 'Thursday Night Live With Robert Marawa' that was originally on SuperSport.

One performance was of Forbes with his great friend Da Les aka Leslie Jonathan Mampe, when they performed the hit song 'Real Stuff' back in 2016. AKA then returned in October 2018 to perform arguably his greatest ever song 'Fela In Versace'.
