Cape Town – Muso Lady Du says she hasn’t released a diss track in response to rapper K.O’s own song criticising her because it wouldn’t “benefit her”.
In his new diss track titled Forecast 23 (Visualiser), K.O raps about his success and throws shade at many artists including former Teargas member Ntukzin, but Lady Du certainly bears the biggest brunt.
K.O raps that Lady Du should “leave the gossip”. This is in reference to her earlier suggestion that K.O’s track Sete would not amount to anything. Sete is now in line for numerous awards at the upcoming SAMAs.

“Sneak dissing is some sh*t I don’t want to see a Lady Du (Lady do). Grow up and leave the gossip. You posted in your stories trying to claim SETE wasn’t gold but then a day a two it reached platinum. How did that make you look?”
In response to K.O’s track, Lady Du said on The Episode podcast that she had planned on releasing a reply but felt it would not benefit her. She even suggested that she had already eclipsed his success in music.
“When I started looking at our numbers, I realised that if I release this, it’s gonna benefit him, not me. He hasn’t even reached a million and I’m on 1.7 (million). My numbers, just my music numbers,” she said.
She later took to Twitter and posted a lengthy thread to clear up any misunderstanding.
I never said I was bigger than KO let’s get that correct first, I said the reason I didn’t drop a diss track was because I checked the numbers on my streams and since he said I did nothing with myself, I was happy to see that some of the songs I was on were higher in streams.

No man should ever come for a woman’s bread and butter no matter what the situation is, we all don’t have the same set up, I’m not signed to no record label that helps push my music so yes my music might be dated but it did what it had to. I respect people and educate where I can
