Career

Fifi began singing at age eight in school and church, making her professional debut in 2008 with a feature on Mo’Molemi’s album Motzamai: Rebel With a Pause.

Her 2010 rap single “Chechela Morago” received significant airplay and launched her into the South African hip‑hop scene. She also featured on AKA’s “Baddest Remix” and tracks by Khuli Chana and Mo’Molemi.

She exited Ambitiouz in early 2017 amid legal disputes that prevented her from performing label-produced music; the EFF, led by Julius Malema, intervened and helped restore her rights through an out-of-court settlement.

Post-label, she founded Mo Cooper Records and released her second studio album, Take Me Back, in 2018. She followed up with singles such as “Net So” in 2020, “Motlogeleng” in 2021, and “Ngeke” featuring Lwah Ndlunkulu in 2023. She joined the cast of Love & Hip Hop South Africa in 2023.
