South African rapper, Nadia Nakai has ignited speculation among fans that she might be moving on from her late lover, AKA.
The speculation began after she posted a heartfelt birthday message to a man named Ryan on Instagram. The post has sparked a flurry of comments and reactions from fans, with many convinced that Nadia might be dating again.
In the post, Nadia gushed over Ryan, calling him genuine, sweet, and one of her favourite people in the world. She also expressed her love and appreciation for him, wishing him a happy birthday and hoping he has an amazing day. While Nadia didn’t explicitly confirm a romantic relationship with Ryan, her words and tone have sparked rumours that she might be interested in him.
Ryan is a lifestyle, travel, and fitness content creator who appears to be close friends with Nadia. The two might have met through their shared interests or social circles, but the exact nature of their relationship remains unclear. Despite the speculation, some friends have come to Nadia’s defence, cautioning against unfounded rumours and insisting that she and Ryan are just friends.
The timing of Nadia’s post has also sparked debate among fans, with some people expressing their support for her potential new relationship. February 2025 marked two years since the death of rapper Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes, and Nadia’s partner. While some people believe that Nadia is ready to move on and find love again, others think it’s too soon or that she’s being disloyal to AKA’s memory.
Nadia has been linked to other celebrities in the past, including K.O., a fellow South African rapper. However, the nature of her relationship with Ryan remains unclear, and it’s uncertain whether she’ll confirm or deny the romance rumours. For now, fans will have to wait and see how things develop between Nadia and Ryan.
