GALXBOY has announced a special limited edition tribute t-shirt for the late AKA, much to the delight of fans wanting to honor "The Supamega." The t-shirt is available for R700 exclusively on galxboy.co.za, but act fast as they are expected to sell out quickly.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), GALXBOY stated, "The Kiernan Forbes Foundation and Bravado, the world’s leading Music Merchandise company, are proud to announce a special collaboration with GALXBOY to honor the late and legendary Kiernan Forbes (AKA)."

This announcement follows a series of exhibitions held at the Mall of Africa in memory of the rapper's would-have-been 36th birthday. These exhibitions showcased exclusive AKA artwork and merchandise. According to AKA's father, the "limited-time showcase offers a unique opportunity for the public to acquire one-of-a-kind pieces."

Jarryd Kiernan Forbes, also known as AKA or The Supamega, collaborated with notable international brands like Reebok and Cruz Vodka during his career. However, he remained a strong supporter of South African culture, evident in his music and fashion. His affinity for the local brand GALXBOY was unmistakable, even referencing it in his song "Lemonade" with the line, "GALXBOY, that's culture."

Beyond being a stylish tribute, these limited edition t-shirts carry even greater significance as all profits will be donated to The Kiernan Forbes Foundation. By purchasing a t-shirt, fans will not only be paying homage to the legendary artist but also contributing to his lasting legacy.

Days prior to this announcement, the Forbes family shared on AKA's Instagram page their intention to launch a foundation "to honour AKA by building on and living his legacy of inspiration to make meaningful and empowering contributions to society." The foundation will focus on developing young South Africans within the music industry, education, and the broader art world.
