Boity gets own reality TV show
It looks like there’s nothing Boity Thulo can’t do. From being a TV and radio presenterturned rapper, now she’s about to become a reality TV star.
Thulo confirmed a new reality show was in the works during an interview on Metro FM’s breakfast show on Thursday.
Her new show Boity: Own Your Throne will premiere on BET Africa on February 5.
Thulo said it won’t be scripted and will feature people who had always been a part of her life.
“In terms of what to expect, it’ll be with people they know.
“You’ll see more interactions with my mom. You’ll see how I tackle the world of music.
“It’ll be my daily, everyday life which is actually on the go, and always busy and filled with so much.”
The Bakae hitmaker added that people should expect to see her in a way they had never seen before.
“I am grateful to give my fans a platform where they can indulge a little bit more, because people were saying that they haven’t seen me on TV for so long.”
Thulo’s cast members will be her mother, Modiehi Thulo, and BFF Bob Sithole, popularly known as Bobby Blanco.
“I’ve always been afraid of letting people that much more into my life, but I felt like it was now OK to give people a glimpse of my private life.
“It was just fair for me to give them a piece of what this life really is. It’s not always glitz and glamour.” Fans will no doubt be excited to see the behind-thescenes on Thulo’s music career, after she recently became the first SA female rapper to go platinum.
She said in November she had no idea her rap career would be so successful so quickly.
“There wasn’t a specific moment when I told myself I wanted to rap.
“I think it was when Nasty C called me and said: ‘I think there’s something there’ and I think there was a little shift that said, ‘maybe, actually’.
“It might have been when I was playing around an idea and then I was like, ‘nah’.
“And then the moment I felt my soul gravitate towards it and I was like, ‘can I, should I ... maybe?’
“Yeah, from then on I was like, ‘let’s see’.”
