“Judgement Was Real” Lynn Forbes Speaks About AKA

Lynn Forbes shared insights into her son, the late rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes (AKA), and the challenges they faced in the music industry on an episode of Your Mom of Schalk.

She discussed the judgments from other mothers due to AKA’s decision not to attend university. Lynn Forbes also disclosed a notable encounter where AKA met one of his former teachers after finding success in music and casually mentioned he was “just dabbling in a bit of music.”

“I can remember sitting at the school leavers’ brunch with all the St Johns mommies. And there I am sitting, but everyone is going to varsity but my son is like the only child that doesn’t go to varsity,” she said.

“You know how you just want to sink into the floor. Because when it comes to me and I say ‘no my son has decided he’s not going to varsity, he’s going to be a sound engineer and rapper… nobody said anything but I could feel it, that judgment was real,” she continued.

“Shame, you must be struggling so much with your child. This poor child is giving you so much trouble,” she says mimicking other mom’s thoughts.
