Lady Du Pens Appreciation Message To Oskido. Duduzile Ngwenya, the lady long famous by her adopted stage name DJ Lady Du, is a South African disc jockey and songwriter.Although she started her career at the age of 9, it wasn’t until several years later, in 2020, that she gained national attention. As she would confess later, she was ready to give up at the time, but fame found her.Today her fame has gone global, with her picture appearing on a billboard on Times Square in New York, United States.
Lady Du took to social media to show love and appreciation to veteran musician Oskido. “I have sooo much respect for you baba @oskidoibelieve today is just a random day but I thought I should take my time to thank you for the advise you gave me a year ago, I’d like to pass it on to the young artists that are coming up, nothing in life comes easy. no one will save you if you don’t save yourselves. never live under pressure, never go out of your way to look or buy things because you feel like everyone has it around you, till today I have never gone and bought myself an LV or Gucci anything, I got it as a gift from one of my wealthy friends but I don’t even wear it that much, baba Oskido said to me, my child, before you start buying anything luxury, first build your networth when you have a steady salary from your businesses knowing you no longer rely on music you can spoil yourself, lol funny enough the same month I went to @themba he said the exact same thing and advised on property.”
She also stated how Oskido’s advice played a role in her decision making. ” I can tell you proudly that I’ve sacrificed sooo many of the things I want to do exactly what they advised, I invested in a business first, I am now building my first batch of apartments in the hood, my main focus is township development so people actually see how important it is to go back to where you come from and show them that anything is possible. So when you see me repeat clothes, looking crusty with a whole lot of dirt during the week know that after I perform on weekends I’m bob the builder!!! And the day you see me slaying you’ll know that I can now afford it without checking if I have money to buy it ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 we live to inspire not expire. I’m not here to stay forever but I want to be part of the people that used their time building a legacy for the generation that comes after me and with God I know it will happen ❤️👌🏽🫡 WAWA.”
