Lady Du's name got dragged through the mud when her father, DJ Choc said some hurtful things about her on video. This was after a post where she spoke about her struggles when she was younger. A lot of people mistook her for saying she grew up poor.
For the past two days, Lady Du has been the talk of the town after her father publicly slammed and humiliated her. In the video, he drags Lady Du for apparently saying she grew up poor. DJ Choc then goes on to sl*t shame her and call her all sorts of names.
"I do not know what Lady Du means when she says she grew up poor when I worked so hard to give her a comfortable life. She then went and h*ed around and ate money with all these men and she continues to spend money on these men. What is she doing now? She did not grow up poor, she had everything she needed.
"She is who she is because of me. Today you see me as a piece of sh*t but she can go around telling people that she grew up poor. She is a dog, I gave birth to a child that is a dog."
Speaking to TshisaLive, Lady Du set the record straight and clarified what she meant by her now deleted post. She told the publication that she had depression last year and lost everything she had. She said she she was not living at her home so he did not want to ask him for anything.
She then clarified that she was merely motivating people, and did not intend to imply her upbringing was poor, “It was a motivational post. It had nothing to do with me saying I grew up poor.”
Speaking about how the post went to her dad, she said somebody has been trying to drive a wedge between them by creating lies. Lady Du said she has never said she was poor as a child.
“Somebody misread my post and went and told my dad that I said I didn't have this and that...My dad doesn't have social media so I think somebody saw my post and went to ask him when that happened,” she told the publication.
Lady Du then said the same thing her step mother said, which was that the video was actually private but somehow got leaked. The video was sent to her brother but she said she had not watched it and probably never will.
“I have not watched the video. He sent it to my brother, making threats, and I kept quiet and said I'm not going to listen to it.”
The Amapiano sensation said she tried to reach out to her father but will probably get elders to address the situation.
Lastly, she told the publication that they always had a close relationship and that she views him as her idol. “My dad and I have always had a close relationship. He's my idol.”
Her step mother then took to Facebook and wrote a lengthy message clarifying what had lead Choc to that point. She said although they do not condone what he did and how he did it, it was best to get both sides of the story. Apparently her father did not want Lady Du to buy her mother a Mother's Day gift as he allegedly does not want them to have a close relationship.
"The response he received, was that she was busy with a mother's day prep for Sandy, me (the step-up mom)..." she wrote.
"The story took another twist. Her post, she was trying desperately to surprise her biological mom with a car for mothers day, and Choc was against this as he did not want her to have a relationship with her mom and she was extremely upset about the entire incident."
