The Relebogile Mabotja Podcast #27 – Moozlie: The Biggest Misconception About Me

I am excited to be chatting with rapper and television presenter Moozlie. She truly is a gem and a sweetheart. We take it all the way back to her MTV and Vuzu days, where it all began. Moozlie tells me how she hustled hard, fuelled by blind faith and big dreams of simply being on TV. You might be surprised at the number of auditions she went through before finally landing her first TV gig. She broke into the scene during an era of powerhouse media personalities, quickly realising she had to work twice as hard to carve her own space in the entertainment industry. She reflects on her music career and her impact in the entertainment industry. We discuss her evolution with the culture, navigating backlash from fans when she drew inspiration from Brenda Fassie, and embracing her “Young Ma Brrrrrrrrrrr” energy. Moozlie opens up about the passion and drive it takes to build a homegrown brand, and how the creative people around her inspired her to discover her own fashion voice. Moozlie is the true definition of “faith it until you make it,” building a legacy that the culture will remember while living unapologetically as herself. #RelebogilePod Connect with us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
