‘He said If I don’t want to I can f**k off’ – Rebecca details her experience at Bucy Radebe’s concertEveryone knows her name. She is a living legend after all with more than three decades of work under her belt.
She invited guests Vusi Nova, Jabu Hlongwane, and veteran singer Rebecca Malope. What was meant to be a day of worship and praise ended up being a day filled with tears for gospel veteran Rebecca. “Bucy expressed the way she loved my song Nkarabe because it told her story. Her eyes were red, I could tell she had been crying. They asked that we do a collaboration on the song for the concert, and I agreed,” she says.
“But I gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided to play my part when asked to go on stage. After soundcheck, I went back to the hotel room they had booked and started getting concerned when I did not have a makeup artist. So, I phoned Melford, my makeup artist to drive from Johannesburg to Sun City and gladly paid him to come. I didn’t mind it, and I didn’t complain. As an artist I know I cannot enter the stage without makeup and just Vaseline on my face.
“I was not okay, I had not been that upset in my life for a very long time. When I saw Bucy’s post, I had to reply. I was very hurt. I asked people to pray for me to be okay. He then sent my manager who is also my daughter a message saying, ‘Is this the game you want to play now.’ Imagine that? You don’t threaten me and my family,” she says.
