In 2021,graced a billboard in Times Square, New York in the US.Taking to her Instagram timeline she shared the snap, reminiscing on how much of a milestone it was considering she was not “big” then. “It was during this time that I was put on the New York Times Square billboard, I wasn’t as big as I am now, with only 80k followers! This proves that when grace locates you no-one can stop you. Today my brand has grown so much and I still take time to thank people who were there during my come up,” she captioned the post.
“Guys, educate yourselves on streams and the music business, I beg you. Everything you see on the internet is not what really happens in real life. You’ll give up on serious careers thinking you can make this work. Entertainment requires a smart mind. Don’t chase fame,” she wrote.
Lady Du said she had resorted to recording music at her home studio so she could own her master copies.“Do everything right, sign contracts before recording, I’ll advise you don’t look for a manager, take someone you know, teach them the work then find promoters to work with. Learn to do things yourself. Please create contracts before recording so you know your splits before leaving the studio. If you have a lawyer to do it for you even better. Also learn all types of royalties! Never record a song without finding out why you [are] recording it and what’s your benefit.”
