‘Trying my best, but my heart is sore’ – Nadia Nakai triggered by Braamfontein shooting

Award-winning rapper Nadia Nakai opened up on Twitter after a video of a man getting shot outside a club in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, made rounds on social media.

In a series of tweets, Nadia shared that she was afraid to open the video.

She added: “That video of the man getting shot outside a club in Braam… the thing is I didn’t hear screams and mayhem after the shots were fired! It’s like everyone, including the person taking the video, is desensitised. That scares me”.

In another tweet, Nadia said the altercation seen in the video before the shooting could have just ended in a fistfight, not death.

“He most likely was drunk, blinded by anger. Alcohol can lead you straight to the devil’s playground… but it couldn’t just end with a fistfight? Eish scary times,” she wrote.

Many people have since reacted to Nadia’s tweets, showing her love and support. One fan wrote:
“I wish I could protect you from seeing such things mama and I know the whole Megacy is also triggered”.

Nadia’s boyfriend, the multi-award-winning rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes affectionately known as AKA, was shot and killed in Durban in February this year.
