She landed in the music industry in 2016 and of recent Bougee released her third single dubbed No Assistance.

In an interview, 24-year-old Bougee, also known as Lesego Selao, said No Asisstance was inspired by her hunger to make good music after her break from the industry due to other commitments.

She said as a lyricist the song mainly recites that she was at a point where she was empowered and knowledgeable about the industry.

“I stay true to myself, I don’t do anything I don’t want to do, and I am keen on my unique sound.” 

The rapper further narrated that her offering was produced by JT Special Boy of Blcxmail entertainment and was currently taking the song to the people.

Bougee said she has been mentored by Samba T who she met in 2011 and advised her to finish school first which she did.
