Last weekend was the Cotton Fest weekend, and many stars pulled through and performed at the festival. Both Kamo Mphela and Lady Du are two huge female artists in the amapiano genre. How the crowd reacted to their performances was very different, however. When Lady was performing her singles, the group was relatively quiet. When Kamo was performing, people went insane.
Lady Du’s performance
Lady Du performed a few of her singles, but none of them made the crowd go insane. Umlando is a massive song in the country right now. Umlando was huge before it even came out. To this day, people are still doing the Umlando challenge on social. When the Malunde singer was performing, she performed with her two usual dancers. She was wearing a custom made outfit by Levis jeans for the festival. Her Glam squad also pulled through for her hair and makeup.

Kamo Mphela performance at Cotton Fest
Kamo Mphela bought the house down. Up to today, people are still raving about her performance online. She bought an entire squad of male dancers, and they filled up the stage. Kamo and ger dancers were wearing black and orange. One thing that sets Kamo apart from the other amapiano acts is that her approach is different. She adapted the culture of the people she performed for. The majority of the crowd was hip hop lovers, and her attire choices resonated with them.
Kamo also shut the festival down with her upcoming single titled i-Ghost. Her song is not out yet, but she keeps teasing it and teasing it. Most of her followers already beg her to release the music as they can tell it’s a hit from the snippet. People know the song from the i-Ghost challenge TikTok started by Kamo herself.

Lady Du’s most recent wins
Lady Du killed her amapiano tour in the United Kingdom and the duo Ama Roto and Boohle. Both Boohle and Lady Du had an exciting interview with BBC, and it’s making waves on the socials. She also tweeted that the amapiano genre bought her a house and six cars. According to the star, she hasn’t touched her royalties yet, but she fully paid for her home and vehicles.
Other stars who shut Cotton Fest down
