According to Melinda Ferguson, “something crazy happened” at the Pepper Club Hotel the night before Anele Tembe's death. The couple had been staying at the five-star hotel after AKA performed at the Ipiep Club on Kloof Street.
“It is said that threesomes and foursomes were occurring in some rooms. Alcohol continued to flow and drugs were also present in large amounts.”
Melinda believes Anel was on strong psychiatric medication, but along with AKA he is said to have taken both alcohol and “mood-altering substances”.
The couple got into an argument over Anele's insecurities and jealousy over his partner's interactions with female fans and the mother of his baby, DJ Zinhle.

He says in his book:
“Nobody who saw the body of the woman they loved would have run to save her. She wasn't dead.
