Meet Aka’s New Girlfriend Nelli Tembe.
AKA doesn’t seem to disappoint with his music and women as he has released some of the best hip-hop songs in South Africa, and dated some of the most beautiful women. It is no news that the favorite Mzansi rapper has parted ways with his longtime love, DJ Zinhle. What may be news for some is that there is a new woman in his life named Nelli Tembe.
Apart from the good looks, she is the direct opposite of his past lovers as she is far younger than the rapper on one hand, and she is not a celebrity. Nelli is quite close to a few other celebrities, but to the fans of AKA (Kiernan Jarryd Forbes), she remains a mystery that needs to be understood.
Nelli Tembe Is A Very Private Individual
She is on the private side of things, and she keeps most details about herself away from the public. Her actual date of birth is not known, but there are speculations that she was born in 1999, which places her more than 10 years younger than her man.
It is known that Nelli Tembe was born in Durban, South Africa, but her childhood and education remain as hidden as most other things about her. She is, nonetheless, said to be the younger sister of multi-award-winning South African actress and singer, Nondumiso Tembe.
If, as alleged, she is the younger sister of the SA actress, then, Nelli could have as well been brought up in New York in a very rich family, as the Tembes are known to be a very rich family.
Her Relationship With AKA Started In 2020
Although the exact time that their relationship started or how they first met is not known, the first attention that was drawn to them as a couple was after a video was shared on social media, in which AKA was seen kissing a mysterious lady who happened to be Nelli Tembe.

At the time, it was not known that AKA and DJ Zinhle had ended their relationship, and so it was thought that he was cheating on her. AKA cleared the air that he had been single since 2019, and he was thankful to whoever leaked out the video as it helped clear things up. Since then, the two have continued to be very close as the rapper keeps sharing his photos with Nelli on social media.
As stated, Nelli Tembe is very different from the other women that came into the life of AKA. First of all, of the three women he is known to have dated, she is not just younger than him by over 10 years, but she is also the only one younger than him. Bonang was older than AKA by a year, while DJ Zinhle is older than him by more than five years. In addition to that, she is the only non-celebrity that he would date since 2008. She doesn’t seem to be after the attention that comes with fame as she keeps her social media handles at private.
