Rapper Youngsta CPT — Riyadh Roberts (born Riyadh Emandien) — has broken his silence following the murder of his friend AKA, saying their fellow Capetonians would have reacted very quickly to the news.

The 35-year-old Fella in Versace hitmaker was murdered in cold blood outside Wish Restaurant on Florida Road in Durban on Friday, 10 February.

According to police, two gunmen who were walking on foot opened fire outside the establishment; killing the musician and his celebrity chef friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane. Another person, who is AKA’s bodyguard, was wounded during the incident.

AKA and Youngsta CPT have worked together on some songs, including their most popular track titled Main Ou’s. In addition, both stars are from Cape Town.

WARNING NOT TO VISIT DURBAN

According to Sunday Times, a source close to AKA claimed that he was warned several times not to visit Durban again after the passing of his fiancée Anele “Nellie” Tembe. 22-year-old Anele fell to her death from the 10th floor of the Pepperclub Hotel on Loop street in Cape Town on 11 April 2021.

“I don’t know whether you say it was arrogance, or if he [AKA] was just hard-headed, but he and people around him had been told that he must not set foot in Durban,” the source said.

“This wasn’t the first time [since Anele’s death] that he was in the city, but before he was always low-key about this presence,” the source added.

The publication reports that the source, who is also close to a former business associate of AKA’s, said the associate had been warned to distance himself from the rapper.

“You sort of question the wisdom of ignoring these messages, even if they were not explicit because his business associates here were no longer keen on being associated with him because they were also warned.

“He’d been warned not to set foot in Durban over the girlfriend who allegedly jumped off the balcony in Cape Town. Now recently he was back on the twittersphere, showing off.”– said the source
