Lady Du also begged the stars to keep up with the digital world, which music has completely taken over.

"Guys, educate yourselves on streams and the music business I beg you. Everything you see on the internet is not what really happens in real life. You'll give up on serious careers thinking you can make this work, entertainment requires a smart mind. Don't chase fame."

Lady Du believes that perfect and loyal management is important

According to TshisaLIVE, Lady Du was conned by her former manager, who took money from promoters behind her back. As someone who nearly lost her career because promoters lost trust in her due to management issues, Lady Du advised artists to work with loyal people.
