Lady Du was one of the 100 performers at Cotton Fest and she shared the stage with some of the hottest Hip Hop acts. But her performance did not receive the hype it would have from a regular crowd, landing an egg on her face.
At the 2-day event, fans were blessed with performances from AKA, fan-favorite Cassper Nyovest, Big Zulu, and Boity. Others included Sjava, Kamo Mphela, Daliwonga, and even Riky Rick’s brother.
The hosts of the 2-day event were Lula Odiba from YFM, MTV Base’s Tshego Koke, Riky Rick’s protégé Uncle Vinny and comedian who also is an Amapiano artist Robot Boii.
Lady Du was also a performer at Cotton Fest but a clip shared from her performance shows the crowd unresponsive. She performed her banger Umlando but there was no hype whatsoever.
People started questioning why she even went on that stage because Cotton Fest is known to be dedicated to Hip Hop fans.

Lady Du needs to understand that there’s a difference between a trend and a hit. That Umlando song was just a trend and not a hit. People only thought they witnessed Tik Tok on stage!

The tracks that trend on social media will never receive the same hype on stage! pic.twitter.com/fuBmgEcd6Z— Efkay Lele Legodi ➐ (@lele_efkay) April 26, 2022
I hope someone tells Lady Du to never accept any request from Cotton Fest♂️

Cassper Nyovest however was dubbed the best performer for the whole event despite there being some negative reception to his inclusion at the event. It was his first time at Cotton Fest but everything went well.
Cassper even said he felt Riky Rick’s spirit on stage with him and he gave it his all. “What Riky Did for the youth with #CottonFest2022 is iconic. Watching day 2 from home and this is a world-class festival. Thank you Riky !! Thank you brother!!! You will live forever!!!!”
We went off for my brother at Cotton Fest. Felt him in spirit. #CottonFest2022 pic.twitter.com/rFg6IZpnvQ
