The timing of AKA’s death is particularly suspicious. He was shot and killed only two weeks before the release of his new album, “Mass Country”. This has led conspiracy theorists to speculate his death was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the release of the album.

In addition circumstances surrounding the death of AKA’s fiancé Anele Tembe, who fell from the tenth floor of a Pepperclub Hotel in Cape Town in 2021, has also raised some questions. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the two deaths might be connected in some way as in a revenge murder plot; however, this remains unconfirmed.
