News of the 22-year old’s death circulated across social media on Sunday morning, when police were called to the scene at the Pepperclub Hotel in the mother-city.

AKA is said to be inconsolable. The couple were in Cape Town for AKA’s performance at Ayepyep Club the night before.
AKA popped the question in February and finalized lobola negotiations last month.

The incident is said to have occurred at around 07h30 on Sunday morning.
Paramedics attended to Nellie after she allegedly jumped from the 10th floor of the hotel, landing on the street below.
She suffered extensive injuries and paramedics were unable to stabilize her as her condition deteriorated. She died on the scene.
This is a developing story and we will update the information accordingly.
