Lady Du is grateful to have made a name for herself after 15 years of hard work in the entertainment industry, but fame has come at a price with her personal life having made the headlines.
From the amapiano stars father, popularly known as DJ Choc, slamming her for apparently claiming she grew up in poverty to her split with her fiancé actor Andile Mxakaza and even management woes, Lady Du is determined to hold her head up high and stride strong.
“People are actually realising the hard work and dedication that I put into my work. It's just amazing. I've been doing this for 15 years and I am actually getting my rewards now,” she told TshisaLIVE.
“I wouldn't dub myself the queen of amapiano. I've never done this for a title, but I appreciate it when people call me all of that because it's how they view me. I was the first female to have the highest streams on amapiano and be on 100 songs at a time.”
On December 4, the singer announced she was venturing into the beauty industry by launching a salon. She took to her social media timeline saying she was ready to hire nail technicians, hairdressers and barbers.
“I literally have been working so hard on it, still am. If you are from KwaThema or around kindly send your CV to WAwalabeauty@gmail.com. I am fully qualified in this as you can see my diplomas in all departments. Some diplomas are for something else, but all qualifications are there. Here’s to franchising in the hood, empowering the community [and] taking the money back to ekasi. My legacy starts now.”
