In 2012, she returned home to South Africa and ditched the beauty industry to pursue music again. “I was tired of massaging people, touching faces, and doing beauty therapy. I wanted to be a famous musician,” Lady Du said. For years, Lady Du struggled with getting her big break. “I became incredibly depressed about my situation. I had quit my job because I wasn’t happy. The music was not going anywhere, and family was pushing me to start a business or go corporate. But all I wanted was music. Nothing was going right for me. I was very depressed, and I overdosed on pills because I had enough. I attempted suicide and landed in the hospital,” she says. “God said it wasn’t my time to die and I made it out alive,” she added.
