Pic! Lady Du Shares Her 2008 Throwback Picture. Lady Du is currently one of the hottest voices in amapiano. Born into a family of musicians, her father DJ Choc and uncle DJ Zan D are reputable deejays and producers. Lady Du, real name Dudu Ngwenya, first learned how to play at the tender age of nine. Since then and during her early adult life, she had been trying to get a successful break into the music industry.
Lady Du who has spent almost 2 decades in the entertainment industry has taken to social media to share her throwback picture in 2008 and how she was looking like. The star has always been open about her journey in the entertainment industry and how her body has been changing throughout the years. “Here is something that will make your day 2008,” she wrote.
Last year, Lady Du opened up about her health and that she is not able to go to gum and exercise. She wrote that the condition has affected her for years. “Something personal I’d like to share with you guys, it has affected me for years. Since I was born I’ve had breathing problems, I cannot do anything active for more than a minute, but there’s something about why I feel like God gave me my musical talent. I can dance on stage for 25 minutes, pour my heart out but I won’t pass out. But as soon as I run for a minute I go straight to hospital. Every three months I go to the doctor so they can clean my system.”
“I call it asthma because that’s what most people understand but my lungs, as I was told by the doctor, are underdeveloped and too small to carry my weight. When you see me on stage performing my best know that as hard as it is for me to breathe, I’m giving everything I have,” she shared.
Lady Du’s musical journey speaks to her resilience, and her success can rightfully be attributed to her perseverance. On “Superstar”, Lady Du sings about aspiring to superstardom, even going as far as mentioning some South African celebrities that she looks up to! Today, her name is listed among the very stars she once mentioned on the track.
