Bathong, Chomee has been in the industry for so long that not many of her fans and followers have realised how time has flown by.

On Monday, 27 October 2025, the controversial blogger and gossipmonger Musa Khawula posted a video of the star who previously sparked skin-bleaching rumours, performing at Disoufeng Pub and Grill in Soweto, to celebrate her 20th anniversary in the music industry.

Shortly after Khawula shared the video of the star and announced that she was celebrating two decades since she made her debut in the music space, many netizens were rather confused that she had been around for such a long time, but it had been years since she released music.

"The last time Chomi released a hit was in 2007. I know this because I kept sending my Demo to 999, and Arthur told me straight that I was not what the industry is looking for."

@_babybearr asked:

"Everything aside. So, many dancers? She pays them with what? How much? Why does she need so many dancers? Or maybe I'm too broke to understand?"

"When last did she get a booking?"

"Minus the years she disappeared, then it will be seven years in the music industry."
