Lady Du is one of the notable faces in South African music at the moment, especially in the field of amapiano. But then, she did not start from the top. Like many before her, she was an obscure artist, looking for a way to gain prominence.
Well, who are the people who helped her one way or the other and ensured she is at her current position? She recently gave these people their flowers by mentioning them in a post shared on her official Instagram page.
She mentioned that Kwaito veteran Oskido always gave him good advice on how to invest. He also pointed to DJ Sbu being his mentor – has always been and still is.
About DJ Tira’s wife Gugu Khathi, he mentioned her as the first woman to believe in her and also paid for her first TV/video appearance.
She also noted that Mr. Jazziq and DJ Maphorisa gave her a platform while Kabza De Small, DJ Tira and the late DJ Sumbody taught her the music business. She singled out Cassper Nyovest as the one who helped her launch her career when she was getting into piano music.
South Africans were pleased with her call of gratitude and most praised her for her humility in acknowledging the role of others in her lifting
