One tweet, in particular, landed her in trouble with K.O fans. This is as she spoke on SAMRO and royalties. However, at the time, there was speculation that K.O was cooking numbers for his latest album SR3 as it was believed that the album was not certified gold as suggested by K.O at the time.
This resulted in K.O getting wind of the matter and replying via his diss track titled Forecast 23. As reported at the time:
In a surprising twist, K.O also went on to drag Lady Du for filth. It seems that Lady Du had come for SETE before it asserted itself as the biggest song of 2022, and K.O was not having it. He dragged the Wawa signature singer by highlighting that his song has officially now been certified diamond after Lady Du suggested that K.O was lying when he said the song was gold.
At the time, Lady Du had not responded with her own diss track like Ntukza did. However, now she has addressed the matter. Conducting an interview with the podcast The Episode, Lady Du finally addressed the diss track by K.O directed in part to her. Firstly, Lady Du asserted that the fact that she did not consciously release music in 2022, hence her numbers might have not been as big as K.O’s that year.
However, she then went on to suggest that she was a bigger artist that K.O in terms of numbers as she stated:
“Let me tell you about people that don’t check numbers. Go to my social media and check how many followers I have, and go to his followers. Then go to my music, then go to his music, I’m not going to say anything after that… Check the numbers, don’t go writing songs, check the numbers.”
As she asserted when speaking on social media numbers, it is a fact that she has more followers than the Hip-Hop legend. This is inclusive of their streaming numbers outside of K.O’s hit single of 2022, SETE, featuring Young Stunna and Blxckie.
“So to me, I found out only on social media when somebody sent me a video from Musa Khawula that he (K.O) works with my old manager and they were probably trying to settle a score. I don’t come for people’s bread and butter, I don’t do that, that’s one thing I would never do.” Lady Du said.
As much as K.O.’s diss track garnered a good reception amongst his fanbase not everyone was in support of him dissing Lady Du. Taking to Twitter, prominent SA hip hop DJ Zan-D stated that the rapper’s diss to the amapiano superstar was unnecessary.
Zan-D also questioned why would K.O be touched by something that people don’t even know. “That diss was unnecessary though. I mean: nobody knew about that story until he mentioned it. Why would K.O. be so touched over something that nobody knew even happened.” Tweeted Zan-D.
Speaking during an Interview with SA Hip Hop Mag, Lady Du responded to K.O. after attacking her saying that she did not release any song last year. “Let me tell you something about people that don’t check numbers”, she said referring to K.O.
Lady Du clarified her stance by pointing out that she has a higher social media following and far more music streams than K.O. “Go to my socials and check how many followers I have, go to his followers. Then you go to my music and then you go to his music, I’m not gonna say anything after that. Check the numbers and don’t go write a song, check the numbers first,” she added.
