She told Briefly News about her exciting music plans and what fans can look forward to:

"I’m working hard on new music, but we’re only going to be releasing in the new year. But there’s definitely some amazing stuff being done."

The singer has been faced with plenty of hurdles over the years, one being her struggles with her mental health.

She spoke in an interview with David Mashabela, where she highlighted suffering from borderline personality disorder and how everything made sense after her diagnosis:

"It's not something we talk about enough as Africans; it's as if you are crazy. I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and so much made sense, all of it."

The Superman hitmaker said before her diagnosis and dependency on medication that turned her into a zombie, her emotions were uncontrollable:

"When I'm mad, something switches, and I just see red. Then I snap out of it, and it's always like, 'Did I do that?' Being able to control your emotions is not easy."
