Nadia Nakai has thanked those who held her hand as she returned to work after the death of her boyfriend AKA. 

Kiernan “AKA” Forbes was shot dead on February 10. His murder is still under investigation.

Nadia took time off from work to grieve for her partner. As she returned to work on March 24 she had the support of AKA's family.

Taking to her social media timeline on Monday, the rapper said the love and support she had received from close friends and her fans had assured her she would be OK.

“Thank you to everyone who supported me as I went back to work.  I am grateful for what people did for me to make sure I’m OK.

“Sometimes I feel I’m undeserving of the support, the messages the hugs and love from my friends, family, fans as well as the venues I worked this weekend. It really gave me hope that I will be OK ... There are so many genuinely good people out there and I’ll never take it for granted. Thank you guys!”
