SA rapper, Moya, set to make her musical debut alongside big names in music industry

After appearing on mzansi’s television screens for multiple years, renowned actress Refiloe Nomoya Dube is set to take the next step when it comes to the entertainment industry as she gears up to make her musical debut alongside several globally known musicians. 

The actress who recently made a transition into rap and hip-hop has recently received the nod to go on a world tour where she will be performing alongside Lauryn Hill, The Fugees, YG Marley, MHL, and D.I.O. 

Speaking about the experience, the Mpumalanga-born actress, who is affectionately known as Moya, described the opportunity as a dream come true. 

In a statement released to The Citizen, she said: “I have dreamt about it and saw myself as an international star, so this is a manifestation of my dreams. I can’t wait to meet Lauryn Hill, she has been an inspiration to many women in the hip-hop business.” 

Moya as she is known, was first discovered by Asanda Empires in 2023. This came after she visited a friend of hers who happened to have a studio session, while there she offered to rap a few verses on an amapiano track, and the rest spiraled from there. 

“The friend was with the owner of Asanda Empires, who let his business associates in the US listen to it. Everyone liked it, and the rest is history. I joined Asanda Empires and have recorded enough songs to release a full project soon.”

Meanwhile, her label has revealed that the tour will start on August 9 in Florida, then visit Atlanta and Charlotte, and will travel until October 22, closing in Paris, London, and Amsterdam. 

She is now reportedly a hot topic in the US music scene and has collaborations with Snoop Dog, Flo Rida, and more.
