“Kairo is the ONE! ??,” she wrote, referencing a cherished lyric from AKA’s song “Dangerous“, featuring Blxckie.

In a touching tribute, she continued: “Happy Heavenly Birthday @akaworldwide love and miss you forever! “

@sarsarnkhosi continued the song’s lyrics writing: “But I need someone to extend my Legacy a son with you is icing on the cake. Happy heavenly birthday Supa Mega.”

Meanwhile, in a poignant post, Lynn reminisced about the first moments of AKA’s life, capturing the profound emotions that accompanied his birth.

“On this day, at 1:15 in the early morning, I heard your first cry, I felt your warmth as you were placed on my chest.

“Your natural birth, 37 years ago, left me exhausted yet invigorated.

“I couldn’t take my eyes off you, Counting every tiny toe, every little finger.

“My tiny baby boy, my first born, your hands wide open, long legs dangling at 2,75kg and a height 54cm.

“So perfect, so full of promise, you left me in awe. In that moment, my heart changed forever; you made me a mother.

“I was yours, and you were mine. A bond unbreakable, an infinite love.”

Lynn expressed that she couldn’t bring herself to say ‘happy heavenly birthday’ as the day of AKA’s birth remains forever etched in her heart.

“I can never say ‘happy heavenly birthday’ for your birth day is an occasion forever etched in my heart.
