Famous journalist Melinda Ferguson will be releasing a book about Anele and AKA’s toxic relationship before their tragic passing. According to NBA Publishers, When Love Kills is expected to hit bookshelves in April 2024.

A description of the book reads: “When Love Kills is the tale of hip hop star, AKA whose life unravelled when he embarked on a relationship with 21-year-old Anele Tembe. When she “fell” to her death from the 10th storey of the Pepper Club in April, 2021, after a long night of heated arguing, details would emerge that they’d been caught up in a whirlwind of toxic obsession, alleged substance abuse and violence. Less than 2 years later AKA was assassinated in what looked like a hit to avenge her death. This is their tragic story.”
