The queen of amapiano, Lady Du, says she’s fed up with her management’s abusive and manipulative behaviour.
Taking to her Twitter page on Friday, the “Dakiwe” hitmaker dropped a bombshell when she laid bare all her management woes.
In a series of tweets, Lady Du revealed how her management team is sabotaging her career.
“Guys, I’m going through it, I tell you. I curse the day I signed my management contract,” says Lady Du.
She told her fans that her management team was doing her great injustice. Instead of finding and booking her gigs and promoting her work, they have been blocking her by telling promoters that she was not available.
Meanwhile, she was sitting home waiting for bookings.
“My manager is telling people I’m unavailable for bookings. He says he doesn’t work on weekends, and doesn’t pay me on time.
“Mind you, I don’t work for him, he gets paid off my bookings!!! Has started taking cash from promoters. I’m in hell guys. I’ve been crying every day nje.”
