Taking to her own Instagram timeline, AKA's mom Lynn Forbes shared snaps of them at the cemetery were AKA is buried.

She thanked everyone who walked the journey with AKA on his Mass Country project.

“Kiernan (AKA), your talent is unquestionable. You have been consistent for almost two decades and you deserve each of these awards. You are a legend and you have left us with a lasting legacy for the generations to come. We are so proud of you and we acknowledge the people, who you chose, to be there with you till the end and bring Mass Country to life,” she posted.

Sharing how they worked on Mass Country, manager and co-executive producer Nhlanhla “Nivo” Ndimande said AKA put his all into the album and approved all elements before his death. 

“The team was blessed to work so closely on this project with Kiernan. We spent a lot of time mapping out this rollout and creating the content we have under his direction. Kiernan worked tremendously hard on this project,” he said.
