Wish On Florida: All the deets on the ‘Last Supper’ farewell
Wish On Florida have revealed details of their final gig – coincidently called ‘The Last Supper’ after the death of rapper AKA on its doorstep
Wish On Florida – a Durban restaurant at which rapper AKA was gunned down outside, will be marking their final gig with an event aptly called “The Last Supper”. This after the award-winning eatery announced it would shut its doors on 10 April, exactly two months after the hitmaker’s unsolved murder.
In a statement released this week, management claimed the closure was over dwindling business since the tragedy.
AKA and friend Tebello Tibz Motsoane were killed by unknown gunmen outside the establishment on 10 February. This, after the star reportedly shared his location on his Instagram Stories.
