On Friday, 29 September, South African rapper Priddy Ugly – real name Ricardo Moloi took his one million Instagram followers by surprise when he announced that he was dropping his last album and then retiring from making music.
‘DUST’: PRIDDY UGLY ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT FROM MAKING MUSIC
Priddy Ugly shared that he has been making music for 15 years. He is best known for making hit songs like 30 Minutes to Soweto, 02HERO, Soil, and more. In 2018, he left his record label, Ambitiouz Entertainment to push music on his own, the Citizen reported. However, just four years after his announcement, the rapper revealed that he would be retiring from making music entirely after his last album, Dust drops.
“From the soil we came [and] to the dust we shall return. It’s been 15 years. That’s 3 albums and 3 mix-tapes. That’s 5 EPS, 500 features, and thousands of verses. Millions of minds blown [that’s word to my pen,” he penned.

“Dust will be the final album by Priddy Ugly. Thanks for your patience. Love Ricardo,” the rapper concluded.
