In addition to her latest business move, Lady Du continues to shine in the Amapiano scene.

In June, she was named the top female artist on Spotify’s Amapiano Grooves, solidifying her position as one of the genre's leading figures.

Despite her success, Lady Du has been open about the challenges she's faced.

Earlier this year, she courageously spoke out about her struggles with mental health, offering fans a glimpse into the obstacles she's had to overcome.

Her journey to success also includes collaborating with major South African artists such as DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, and Mr JazziQ. As a five-time award winner, Lady Du has built a career that blends both musical and business achievements.

She is also the author of a book titled “Fame or Business”, which delves into the realities of the entertainment industry.
