News24 reported that they are in possession of a video showing AKA breaking down a door to get to the 22-year-old, who was hiding out in the bedroom. The incident allegedly occurred in their Bryanston home on March 13.
The publication also further reported that a friend of Nelli has spoken out that AKA had previously been abusive towards Nelli and "smashed her face against the wall".
In AKA's statement released the day before, the rapper said that he will not stand back and watch people smear his name.
"I am a passionate and emotional person, what I will not stand for is watching people attempt to disparage my name and importantly Anele's character to suit a narrative we both never signed up for."
The statement went on to insist that Nelli committed suicide.
"What I will say as my truth, I was and still am madly in love with a girl carrying whatever past traumas she faced before I met her."
He also said that he hopes everyone affected by Anele's choice would come to terms with her passing and heal.
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that AKA is scheduled to make his first performance after the passing of his fiancée Anele ‘Nelli’ Tembe. The rapper is scheduled to perform at the 947 Huawei Joburg Day on the 28th of this month. It is unclear whether AKA made the commitment before the tragedy, but his name and face have not been removed from the poster.
Anele took to Instagram to share a poster from the event and it seems fans are super excited to see AKA performing again.
