Urging more people to get up and do the right thing, Lady Du shared that she woke up at 4 am and had to wait until her station opened at 7 am. The Wishy Wishy singer said she never received any special treatment and had the opportunity to converse with other people.
"I woke up at 4 am, Nina. They opened at 7 am, but we voted. Please go and vote I’ve done my part. I stood in the line like everyone else. We had conversations that were sooo amazing."
