Two more videos are doing the rounds on social media showing violent meltdowns at the home of rapper AKA and his late fiancée Anele “Nelli” Tembe.
In the videos, believed to have been recorded a month before her death last month, a hysterical Nelli is crying for her dead mother and screaming at people trying to calm her down.
In the first video, the 22-year-old woman is seen storming into a lounge area, screaming ”get away from me” as a man in a white T-shirt tries to calm her.
She falls to the ground and screams: “Look what he’s doing, you guys don’t know what he’s been doing to me!”
In another video, also believed to have been made in their Bryanston home, Nelli is sitting on the floor of a trashed bedroom, curled up and rocking back and forth with her head in her hands, crying: “I want my mom.”
The person taking the video, believed to be AKA, claims she is under the influence and tried to jump from the balcony.
“Look at all this,” he says panning the camera over the room where broken photo frames and other items lay strewn on the floor.
“We’ve got somebody here under the influence, tried to jump off the balcony, my eardrums are ringing, I think I burst my eardrum.
“I have a witness that witnessed that I did not fight back and there is no fighting back from my side.
“This is how it looks, so when we go to court, this is what I want people to see, thank you.”
There’s also a photo of AKA with a bruise on his temple.
The new videos were leaked on social media following a first video, which emerged in reports on Saturday, in which AKA is seen breaking down a bedroom door with his bare hands, apparently trying to get to Nelli, who had run into the room and locked the door.
The alleged incident happened on 13 March and left Nelli, 22, bruised and nursing her face with ice.
According to a person who spoke to News24, Nelli had recorded the video and sent it to a friend, who handed it over to police at the weekend, claiming Nelli was a victim of gender-based violence.
Screenshots of the video show AKA, 33, wearing a ripped black T-shirt and shorts, breaking down a door to enter a locked bedroom.
According to the friend, AKA was allegedly high on drugs and Nelli had told her that he had smashed her face into a wall during an argument and she went to hide in the bedroom.
AKA, whose real name is Kiernan Forbes, released a statement early on Sunday addressing the video, slamming the media and those who leaked the video.
“I am fully aware of who the sources engaging media are and what their intention is, which is to influence the SAPS inquest, which the investigating officer has stated numerous times to my legal team and to them, that I Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, have not been named to be a suspect, but have been nothing but a cooperating witness,” he said.
Nelli fell to her death from the 10th-floor penthouse of the Pepperclub Hotel on 11 April in what is believed to have been a suicide.
However, at her funeral her father, Moses Tembe, refuted suicide claims.
The pair, who had been dating for just over a year, got engaged in February.
Nelli had been previously been reported to be involved in a suicide attempt. This after a video of her allegedly trying to jump from a Durban hotel went viral on social media last November.
