Lady Du Launches “Sip of Piano” wine brand, expands her entrepreneurial empire

Lady Du Uncorks Her Latest Venture: “Sip of Piano” Wine

South African Amapiano sensation Lady Du (Duduzile Ngwenya) is kicking off 2026 not just with music, but with business moves that are as bold as her beats. The beloved vocalist has launched her self-funded wine brand, “Sip of Piano”, marrying her musical identity with a growing entrepreneurial spirit.

The brand’s name resonates perfectly with Lady Du’s global Amapiano hits, reflecting her signature style and rhythm. She announced the launch on Christmas Eve, sharing her excitement with fans on Instagram.

From Music to Business Empire

“Sip of Piano” isn’t Lady Du’s first foray into entrepreneurship. The “Dakiwe” hitmaker already runs Wawa La Beauty salon in Kwa-Themba, Ekurhuleni, and released her first book in 2024 titled Fame or Business, which explores how to leverage fame for entrepreneurial success.

Despite her accomplishments, Lady Du admits the journey hasn’t been smooth. She revealed that she was once robbed of her savings, forcing her to rebuild her ventures from scratch.

“Don’t ever let your ideas live in your head, you won’t see how far you can push yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Both my book and wine are self funded!!! At some point I got to zero, even got robbed of my savings but because I’m consistent in prayer, God has never ever left my side.”
