The controversy stems from Nadia’s candid response to criticism over moving on with her life following AKA’s death. After sparking dating rumours with Toss, she addressed the scrutiny head-on, making it clear she refuses to be defined by grief. “I gained my freedom from this cloud of stigma that keeps me frozen in time as someone's widow when I was never married to him,” she said. “You must understand that Kiernan has been gone longer than I was with him when he was alive. I am still Nadia Nakai. I was Nadia Nakai before him, and I will continue to be Nadia Nakai after him.” While reaffirming her love for AKA, Nadia stressed that she also has to choose herself and her future. “I love the Megacy, but I also love myself, and I know I cannot spend my life alone. I cannot spend my life loving a ghost. I will always love him. He has a special place in my heart, but I am ready to move on.”Lynn Forbes on Nadia calling AKA a ghost 😭 pic.twitter.com/S9OvYuimBW
