'For some reason the SA hip-hop scene is draining my life, and with my spiritual journey I want to be in control of my environment,' Gigi said.
Rapper Gigi Lamayne is tired of the drama, toxicity, cliques and beefs that have been at the centre of hip-hop in Mzansi lately.Speaking to TshisaLIVE, the rapper said the decision came because she is tired of everything that's happening in hip-hop that has nothing to do with the hip-hop culture.
“After doing songs with people in outside genres I realised how those people are so connected, how they get along, not to say they don't have issues, but they are so much more about the bigger picture. “There are people who are more equal than others. Some were born into power and when you find that in any industry you find that no-one earns anything on merit. It's not about how good you are. It's about who you know and how you know them.
“You see the amapiano movement, you see how if it's a good song, it's a good song and people will appreciate it. You don't need to be the son or the daughter of whoever or you are connected in this way or another. For them its purely about music and I think hip-hop has moved away from that.”
