“AKA had boundaries” – Lady Du

“AKA had boundaries” – Lady Du. AKA’s music legacy will be remembered not just by his Megacy fans and close industry friends and family, but also by others in the music industry who did not know the rapper personally.

Speaking to SA Hip Hop Mag, Lady Du is one of the people who did not have a personal relationship with the Supa Mega. But she acknowledged the impact the slain rapper had in her own career and everyone in the SA music industry.

Lady Du stated that she is one of the people who was inspired by AKA mostly by the late rapper’s level of consistency. “He was one of the people I was inspired by, especially with how consistent he was with himself,” she said. “Not with just the brand, but himself, AKA literally had boundaries. There was no celebrity in South Africa that had boundaries like AKA.”

The amapiano star further stated that the late rapper was full of love and was one of the few who respected other people’s spaces. Lady Du stated that the individuals with whom AKA was linked may reveal the sort of person he was and the type of friends he desired in his life.

“He knew when he goes to a place that that’s a no-go area you need to respect it and fans learned to respect that. He was literally a person that was bowling with love, I think everybody can see that,” she said.

“Guys, did you see the people that were talking at his memorial? You can tell with the friends he picked that he was never going to fail. He knew that my force is what I bring, not what I take. So it was just very sad for us and I’m very closer to Zinhle because we are in the same genre.”

Asked whats her AKA’s favourite song, Lady Du mentioned the diss track Composure. “I don’t think you guys know that was not a diss track. AKA was literally saying, compose yourself. He put you in a place, but he says remain grounded. Just the word composure, means calm yourself, i will tell you what i want to tell you, but remain calm, so that’s my favourite and Jika.” Lady Du added.
