Lady Du claps back after being told not to ‘claim’ to know how to DJ

A “fan” of DJ Lady Du recently fetched a clap back when he tried to suggest the Umsebenzi Wethu hitmaker should stick to singing and leave DJing alone because she’s “not that good”.

Lady Du didn’t waste time when she put the person in his place by telling him that not only does she come from a family of music, she starting learning how to DJ while she was still in primary school and therefore wasn’t going to allow a random person to tell her she’s not “good”.

The guy, who said he was a fan of Lady Du’s voice, commented on a video clip she posted on her Instagram showing off her DJ skills.

“Haa my friend andivumi tuu apho kwi desk (I don’t approve of your skills on the desk) but as an artist you are wow! So hlala kwi (focus on the) mic my dear because you are a Queen there and no-one come close to you,” she said.

But Lady Du wasn’t having it and she hit back with: “I’ve been playing since I was 10. I play better than I sing. That’s not for you to even comment on. I’m a skilled DJ.

“Lapho (there) I don’t even need opinions.”

Fans who have followed the Dakiwe hitmaker from her hustle days in the industry filled up the comment section with praises for her skills and comments on how proud they are of her.

Lady Du began her journey in music at the tender age of nine. Her grandfather Alias  owned one of the first nightclubs in Vosloorus, and her father is known in the DJ circle as DJ Choc and she is niece of YFM’s DJ Zan-D.

Following up the post, the DJ gave props to her father, who she said was her biggest influence and the reason she does music.

“I took the light from my dad. He is the reason I started and won’t ever stop. Our home is a music museum with more than 1,000 vinyls and a big studio.”
