Boity made history last year by becoming the first SA female rapper to reach platinum status, for her single Wuz Dat.
Boity was honoured along with other chart-toppers in the music scene at Universal Music Group's Night For The Stars award ceremony in November last year and, despite receiving a lukewarm response on the debut single in 2018, the star sure was right that it was only “the beginning”.
The platinum-selling news came as a victory for Boity, who has in the past been criticised by haters for her bars and accused of using a ghostwriter.
In a short sit-down interview with TshisaLIVE, a shaken yet grateful Boity mentioned that the 3.4 million streams the single got came as a shock to her.
“I don't know ... I didn't pray for this. So, I'm not prepared ... you know.
“There wasn't a specific moment when I told myself I wanted to rap. I think it was when Nasty C called me and said, 'I think there's something there', and I think there was a little shift that said, 'maybe, actually'.
“It might have been when I was playing around an idea and then I was like; 'nah'. And then the moment I felt my soul gravitate towards it and I was like, 'can I, should I ... maybe?' Yeah, from then on I was like, 'let's see'.”
