Nadia Nakai Opens Up About Moving On from AKA: “I Don’t Want to Spend My Life Loving a Ghost”
Rapper Nadia Nakai has shared candid thoughts about moving forward after the passing of fellow musician AKA. In a heartfelt reflection, she explained that while she will always cherish her memories of him, she is ready to embrace life without being tied to the past.
“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life by myself. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life loving a ghost. He’ll always have a special space in my heart, but I’m ready to move on,” Nakai said.
She also addressed the misconception that she is forever linked to AKA, noting that the public often assumes she is “frozen in time” because of their past connection.
“I gained my freedom under this cloud and the stigma that I’m forever frozen in time as someone’s widow when I wasn’t married to him. I’m still Nadia Nakai. I was always Nadia Nakai before, and I’ll be Nadia Nakai after Kiernan,” she added.
Addressing Rumours with Toss
Nakai also spoke about circulating rumours linking her romantically with fellow artist Toss, clarifying that there is nothing more than a professional collaboration.
“I’m not dating Toss. It’s a video promoting his new song featuring Elaine. He asked me to appear as the video vixen, and the images we shot weren’t expected to blow up the way they did,” she explained.
Balancing Career, Love, and Self
Nakai’s reflections highlight her focus on self-love and personal growth. She acknowledged the support of fans while stressing the importance of prioritizing her own happiness and emotional wellbeing.
“I love the Megacy, but I love myself too. I know I don’t want this life to be alone,” she said.
Her message resonates with fans navigating grief, public scrutiny, and the pressure of moving on from significant past relationships.
