Lady Du has publicly honoured fellow Amapiano star Mr JazziQ with a deeply personal birthday message, crediting him for playing a pivotal role in both her career and personal life.
Sharing photos of the two of them on Instagram, Lady Du poured out her gratitude in a lengthy tribute that reflected on the impact Mr JazziQ has had on her journey in the music industry and beyond.
“Where do I even begin 😭😭😭,” she started, before detailing how he helped shape her early steps in Amapiano. “You didn’t just help me start my amapiano journey you gave me a foundation. When I was unsure at times, you saw potential in me. You guided me, encouraged me, and gave me opportunities that changed the course of my life. Because of you, I found direction and confidence.”
Beyond music, the singer revealed that Mr JazziQ stood by her during some of her most painful moments.
Reflecting on the loss of her father, she wrote, “When I buried my father and my world felt shattered, you stood by me. You didn’t disappear when things got heavy. You showed up in my grief, offered strength when I had none, and reminded me that I wasn’t alone in my pain. That kind of presence is something I will carry in my heart forever. That is why I call you my second Father.”
Lady Du also credited him for supporting her entrepreneurial ambitions and personal health battles.
“When I took the leap and opened my first business, you were there again believing in my vision, supporting my dream, and celebrating that milestone as if it were your own. Your encouragement gave me courage.”
She further shared that during a medical condition that forced her to stop working for three months, Mr JazziQ stepped in to help without hesitation.
“You didn’t just offer sympathy you offered real help. You lifted a burden off my shoulders during a time when I truly needed it. That generosity and compassion speak volumes about your heart.”
Describing him as a mentor, guardian and blessing, Lady Du emphasised that his influence on her life goes far beyond music.
She concluded her message with a heartfelt prayer for his new year.
“On your birthday, I pray that life pours back into you everything you have poured into me peace, health, success, joy, and unwavering support… Happy Birthday buti wam You are deeply appreciated, today and always.”
