She also revealed that she collaborated with Usimamane on the Pop single set to be released on Friday, 5 June 2026. The reality TV star shared why she decided to release a Pop song. The post was captioned:

“Pop music has always been home to me. And in a space where Pop isn't always accepted in SA or the loudest, choosing to make the music I love feels like believing in something before the world sees it. For every South African kid who grew up loving melodies, big feelings and songs that made them dream. For the pop girls. For the ones who feel deeply and anyone who's been waiting for something a little different. This release means more to me than I can put into words. It's proof that there's room for every sound, every dream and every version of ourselves. I hope it finds the people it's meant for. Lose Control ft. Usimamane — June 5. 💋”
