The Dakiwe hitmaker, whose real name is Duduzile Ngwenya, has been singing her man's praises on social media and for his birthday she decided to take her followers on a journey about how she met him.
Taking to Instagram to pen a tribute to the Isibaya actor, Lady Du started off by sharing that she met her fitness enthusiast bae during the darkest period of her life. The Dj had been suffering from depression and had just been discharged from hospital after attempting to take her own life - this was last year, just before lockdown.
"Last year March before lockdown I met andile, we started talking, I was not in a good space so he was really patient with me, 4 month before that I was discharged from hospital I had depression, to point where I tried committing suicide, it was the most hardest time of my life. I lost every single thing in my life including my family, I was alone, going through the most. I went for counseling on the last day of my counseling session the lady said take yourself out, that’s exactly what I did, lol guess who I met, this mad one here, guys I swear it was like God brought him straight from heaven."
Although the couple had dated briefly almost 12 years ago, the spark was still there when they bumped into each other at a restaurant last year.
Lady Du went on to describe Andile's gentleness, his patience and his level of support for her while she recovered and nursed her heart. The 'Umsebenzi wethu' singer says she was in awe of some of the things her partner did, including suggesting that they pray together daily.
"We spoke for 3 months guys 3 months nothing happened, it was like he was counseling me again. he’d park outside my house, talk to me, lol even said a man doesn’t entre a woman’s house, that time I live with just my daughter, he then asked we pray together everyday at 9. Hay listen I was shocked by half the things we’d do together."
It was only four months into their relationship that the actor asked for her hand in marriage, and she says she's felt like a queen since.
"4 month later he made a promise to me his words were >>>unlike all the people that left me and have been hurting me, he’ll stay forever. I really thought he was bullshitting. A week later he bought a ring, this was before he even touched me intimately. He said I want to make you my wife, I know your personality, i Know how kind you are. please be my wife.
"From that day I’ve been treated like a queen, taught a new kind of love. Respect, unconditional love, family, that I even spoke to my family and fixed things with them. I’m in the most comfortable relationship ever, so today I’m going to spoil you rotten!!! It’s his birthday and because he said whatever money you make is yours spend it on your family, i don’t take money from a woman.
"I will make sure I go all out for you today because it’s the only day I’m probably allowed to spend my money on him. Happy birthday to my king, happy birthday to the man that picked me up and built me from zero again. I thank you soooo much and love you to the moon and back. Yho guys I’m even crying writing this if there’s any mistakes please mind them I’m emotional. Happy birthday KING"
Lady Du and Andile have been giving their followers couple goals. Just last week, it was Lady Du's turn to be honoured when the actor gave her a gorgeous engage ring "upgrading" her from the one she had.
