Meet the queen of Gqom
BEING a queen is not all about singing, and being a diva is not all about singing. It has much to do with your service to people and your social contributions to your community.
Talking of queens, meet the queen of Gqom music, one of the fast rising genres imported from South Africa, Samantha Rejoice Mazibuko (26) popularly known by her stage name Naughty Queen who recently released a controversial song titled Istabani.
Mazibuko kick started her career last year and she has never looked back since then.
“I started my music career last year and since then I have been making positive strides in pushing my career to the next level,” she said.
In an interview with
Sunday Life,
she said even though she embarked the train of music late, she has always been in love with art since childhood.
“I can say that I fell in love with music at a very tender age as I sometimes ran away from school to watch Iyasa perform, the other thing I think art is running in my family’s blood because my mother is a music promoter and my uncle is Albert Nyathi, who has thrived in the world of arts,” said Naughty Queen.
She also said she was happy that his songs have received significant airplay in local radios. Naughty Queen believes that she has no competition locally, thus she is the Queen of Gqom.
“I think locally I have no competition as of yet and I think I would be forgiven if I say I am the queen of Gqom and in five years time I see myself as a big artiste reaching out to the less privileged communities as well,” she exclaimed.
