SOUTH AFRICANS CALL OUT LADY DU

For some time now, tweeps have been calling out celebrities for jumping at the opportunity to be the bearer of bad news when it comes to announcing the deaths of fellow industry mates.

Some SA celebs were the first to tweet “No way” along with heartbroken and crying emojis before the death of rapper, Riky Rick. They did the same again before the death of DJ Dimplez was confirmed.

Lady Du is said to be one of the first celebrities to comment on the death of Amapiano stars, Killer Kau and Mpura.

“How come Lady Du, is the first to know who died but didn’t even know her manager was booking her and taking her money without her knowledge? Her focus is so off,” tweeted @Gabbie_Kamo12.

“When people mourn their friend’s death y’all judge em…if they don’t say anything y’all judge em….lady du did it first with mpura n deleted her post after a few minutes because of such nonsense…let everyone mourn the way they see fit damn!” tweeted @MolokommeVoctor.

Here are some of the reactions below:

WHO WAS DJ DIMPLEZ?

  • SAMA award-nominated musician Tumi Mooi – known as DJ Dimplez passed away on Sunday, 6 March 2022 at the age of 28.
  • The hop-hop artist landed himself a slot on Metro FM which was presented by T’bo Touch and included the likes of DJ Milkshake and more. Over the years the DJ formed DJ outfit MVD – including DJs Milkshake and Vigilante.
  • The DJ initially went as DJ Tumi but he thought that did not appeal to Channel O.  So, the name DJ Dimplez came up just 10 seconds before the camera started rolling on the popular show O-Boma. This marked the turning point of his career.
  • The DJ was the brains behind Pop Bottles – which is dubbed as one of the most successful events in Johannesburg. 
  • His family confirmed that he died because of brain haemmorhage.
