Lady Du makes good first impression on Mzansi Idols viewers
Meanwhile, Briefly News learned that Lady Du was the first guest judge to fill Somizi’s vacant seat.
At first, Lady Du seemed nervous but as the show progressed, she found her footing and began opening up by dropping some valuable industry advice. The Amapiano vocalist trended on social media as users reacted to her appearance. It seems many were taken by her good looks.
