Visa snag means Kairo won’t be going to America & the internet is spitting madAfter pleading with the nation to vote for her dad so she could go to the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles this weekend, AKA announced on Thursday that Kairo won't be attending the show because of visa issues.
AKA is nominated at the awards in the Favourite SA Star category and will compete with Nomzamo Mbatha, Somizi, Kagiso Rabada and Siya Kolisi for the prize.
An avid fan of Nickelodeon and its trademark slime dunk, when a celeb wins a prize at the awards, Kairo pleaded with fans on Instagram earlier this month to vote for her daddy.
“My daddy is nominated for the Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards: Favourite SA star. I’m going to slime my daddy for SA."
But Kairo's hopes were dashed when she wasn't able to get an American visa in time.
"Good Morning. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I’m off to LA and I’m feeling pretty positive about the win. The bad news is Kairo & my mom couldn’t get their US Visas," AKA announced on Twitter this week.
He revealed that they had struggled to get a visa appointment, with the next available date only in April.
Kairo was upset by the news and asked if it meant her dad wouldn't win the award. She offered her favourite doll to go with him to represent her.
[...]
Fans were quarter to starting a petition to have the US Embassy make a plan.

Kairo has captured the hearts of Mzansi for her cute videos.

Black Twitter heartbroken that Kairo's not going to LA to support AKA
When Mzansi found out that AKA has to leave his daughter behind as he jets off to LA for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, they were really upset. Black Twitter was very vocal about how disappointed they are.
AKA has been nominated for the 2019 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in the South African category and would have loved to been able to take his baby girl, Kairo, with him to Los Angeles for the event. Sadly, Kairo's visa was denied, and she can't go with her daddy. This left AKA and all his fans heartbroken. It would have been an amazing experience for father and daughter, and fans feel it's not fair that Kairo can't go.
AKA shared the bad news with his fans on Thursday, 21 March, as reported on by Briefly.co.za. Taking to social media, Black Twitter showed their support for Kairo and expressed how sad they are for her.
