Londie grew up in Witbank, Mpumalanga and as young as six years old she started showing her interest in music. Londie comes from a musical family and this helped her shape her career. 

She attended Hoerskool Tegnies in Witbank and completed her matric year. She, later on, joined the University of Johannesburg to study Jewellery Design and manufacturing. Because of her love for music, while at University, she did participate in the UJ idols competition where she emerged among the runners up. 

It seems, being in the music industry was always where she was meant to be. From a young age, she had her father who pushed her into music, and she eventually started participating in musical competitions. Her father is an isicathamiya singer and her brothers are into hip hop.

She tried talent shows and the UJ idols completion while at the university. As she grew in the industry, Londie landed herself a collaboration with a Ghanaian and BET award nominee, D-Black. Working with D-Black made her realize that she could focus on music as a career.

Londie had initially been called by Ambitiouz Records to appear in Emtee‘s music video. They were so impressed with her after she had told them that she’s not only a model, but she’s got the pipes too. When they called her back she signed up with Ambitiouz Entertainment Spring, and after a few months of consistent work, she leased her first hit; ‘He Goes.’

She, later on, worked with the celebrated and award-winning DJ Miss Pru, Gigi Lamayne and Ndia Nakai on a hit; ‘Isaga Lam.’ In 2018, she worked on and released another single hit, ‘You were mine.’

Apart from her musical career, Londie London is also a model. Most people refer to her as an Instagram model.

This is another strategy that has helped her grow her musical career and brand at large.

She values women empowerment and her line aims at making sure that she makes women feel sexy and comfortable in their bodies. 

Well, sometimes we do things out of anger and then we find ourselves on the wrong side of the law. Londie London is not new to such controversy.

According to Sunday Sun charges were laid against the model after she allegedly threw a wine glass at a man named Tebello Gcaba. The report further claimed that Londie pulled his spectacles off his face.

SAPA spokesperson Kay Makhubela confirmed Londie’s arrest to the tabloid, saying that she was released on R1 000 bail.

Londie is known to wear daring outfits and proudly shows off her physique whenever she wants, but it seems as though the emancipation of her body has attracted some rather unwanted attention from certain people.

At the at the Castle Lite Unlock Concert headlined by Chance The Rapper in 2018, Londie caused havoc because of a leotard outfit she wore which left little to the imagination. The artist has made it clear that she is however not here to please anyone and she will wear whatever makes her feel comfortable. 

Love does not go the way we want it go sometimes and Londie London was left heartbroken after her businessman boyfriend, Hlubi Nkosi, dumped her for Kim Kholiwe. 

It was the hardest pill that Londie had to swallow and instead she took her frustrations to Instagram and posted a video where she was firing shots at Kim and feeling sorry for Hlubi for exposing himself to what she called a ‘mkhaba (big belly) and thighs that don’t have a gap’. 

Ouch, Londie that was harsh.

However, Londie later on apologised for her actions after she received some backlash on social media for blaming another woman for losing her man and calling her names.

This is why fans love Londie so much because she has an amazing taste in fashion. She difinitely knows how to dress for the event even for the weather too.
