Rapper Da L.E.S's annual All White Pool Party has been dubbed as one of the hottest and most exclusive celebrity bashes on the social calendar.

The party which started out as an "exclusive hangout" session for Da L.E.S, and his celebrity friends has turned into one of the hottest parties to get Mzansi's A-list personalities rocking into the year.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE Da L.E.S explained that he never imagined the party would develop into something of this magnitude.

"It all started out very organically and was pretty much started as a way for me to hang out with my friends and kick off the year with good vibes," he said.

Now in its eighth year the party takes place at the North God's Bryanston pad, which is transformed into a trendy poolside party venue with stages, sexy white couches on the lawn and performances by the rapper, and his friends.

The party is still pretty much an exclusive affair attended by the 'who's who' of the entertainment industry.

From AKA and Bonang to Joelle Kaymbe - the guest list is super strict and entrance to the party is by invite only.

  • Sorry, Fam! Black Twitter is not here for Date My Family Mdu's video responseDate My Family bachelor Mdu Nyoni finally responded to his critics on Tuesday, but it seems Twitter is having none of it. 

"The party is an exclusive event with only the best of the best, and the hottest of the hot making it onto the list. It's held at my house so the numbers are strict," the rapper told TshisaLIVE.

While a handful of lucky fans have cracked the guest list by entering competitions the rapper ran on social media, he doesn't have plans to turn it into a "public event" anytime soon.

"It's exclusive, it's fresh and I plan to keep it that way," Da L.E.S said.

The rapper added that those who will be attending the party this Saturday can expect a lot of fun, positive vibes and conversations about business, and collaborations.
