DJ Zinhle and her daughter Kairo recently sent a special gift to Nadia Nakai, the girlfriend of South African rapper AKA. The gift, a pair of earrings from Zinhle’s Era brand, was shared by Nakai on her Instagram Story on March 16.

Nakai has been spending time with Kairo, who is the daughter of AKA and Zinhle, and shared a video on March 12 of the two playing with a filter on Instagram.

Nakai, who was in a relationship with AKA at the time of his death, has also shared her grief on social media. In a post on her Instagram Story, she wrote, “My heart is broken. I don’t know how to do this without you. I miss you so much.”

Despite the tragedy, it is heartening to see that the co-parenting relationship between DJ Zinhle and AKA remained strong. Their willingness to put their differences aside and prioritize Kairo’s well-being is a testament to their love for their daughter and their commitment to being good parents. The gift from DJ Zinhle and Kairo to Nakai is a touching reminder of the bond between the families and the importance of supporting each other in times of grief.
