Fifi Cooper Reveals Her Motivation Is Her Son
By Purity Lisa on January 3, 2019
Rapper Fifi Cooper has been through it all in the last two years, often times wanting to give up. What has kept her going is the thought of her son.
In 2017, her former record label Ambitiouz Entertainment, served her with a court interdict. This prevented her from performing the songs she had recorded before leaving the label months earlier.
Although the matter was solved , the months between the interdict and the resolution were some of the toughest for Fifi.
She sent her son to her mother in mahikeng, and decided to try and remain afloat in Johannesburg.
“In that moment, I felt it was the best thing to do. I didn’t know what was happening, if I would be able to sort it out (the dispute with the record label). I just didn’t want him to see me cry. I had to be strong for him. There were many dark days. I could have given up a few times but I thought of what I needed to do to look after him and I just wanted to make him proud.”
During this period, Fifi would visit her father’s grave and ask him to help her. She often left confident afterwards.
“When he died I think that was one of the darkest days of my life. I just didn’t know how to deal with it, so even when this thing with my record label happened it didn’t hit me as hard. I think that was why I had the confidence that whatever happened, I would be able to get through it.”
She remains grateful to those who stood by her during this time.
“I think that is one of the good things about Maftown. We all stick together and you know that people have your back. There is a lot of talent coming from Maftown and a lot of competition but there is that one thing that really brings us together.”
