As she forges her own career in the field, Kairo Forbes—daughter of DJ Zinhle and the late rapper AKA—is demonstrating to the nation that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
She is still regarded as a child influencer and was recently nominated for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards’ Favorite African Kids Influencers category. On July 14, in Los Angeles, USA, Nickelodeon will host its 45th Kids Choice Awards. DJ Zinhle, a pleased mother, recently raved on her Instagram account over her baby girl’s nomination.
Forbes shared the wonderful news on her own Instagram as well. She is competing against DJ Wysei, Dream Catchers Academy, and Boluwatife Balogun of Nigeria. The eight-year-old won the third-annual South African Social Media Awards’ Social Media Kid Influencer of the Year title in 2023. In addition, Kairo appears in Nedbank’s very first Roblox game, Chow Town, which instructs young users on entrepreneurship.
She is not only a child influencer but also a future businesswoman who is following in her mother’s footsteps. Forbes established a jewelry line in 2022 in association with her mother’s Era business. The mother-daughter team revealed plans to launch a new line of spectacles in 2021 in collaboration with Era by DJ Zinhle.
The line included prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses with Kairo’s name on the frames for kids four to seven years old.
