Gigi Lamayne Blurs The Lines Between Rap & Rhythm With Explosive ‘I AM NOT A DJ’ Series Launch. Multi-talented rapper and performer Gigi Lamayne is turning the tables—literally—with the surprise launch of her bold new performance series, #IAMNOTADJ.
This new venture sees the lyrical powerhouse stepping into a high-energy live performance space that merges rap, visuals, and curated DJ sets… with a twist: she’s not a DJ, but she’s definitely here to rock the decks.
Announcing the initiative via social media with her signature flair, Gigi teased fans with the first instalment in the series, which includes a collaborative set with renowned house maestro Shimza. The two artists joined forces for a sonic journey titled #Places, a vibe-heavy mix described by Gigi as part of her new “therapy drive.” The mix is now exclusively available to Vodacom customers via Gigiverse by dialling 11722#, while the rest of the world can catch it on her official YouTube channel.
“Surprise surprise!” she wrote. “Starting off my #IAMNOTADJ series (plenty surprises for this set as the rapper you know and as a performing artist) 🤭… Remember …. I AM NOT A DJ!”
Hosted at The Kulture Chamber, the launch marks a daring new chapter in Gigi’s already genre-defying career. Her performance style—tagged cheekily as “Rapping as I play”—pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a hip-hop artist in 2025. Known for her fierce lyricism and unapologetic persona, Gigi now enters an immersive space where she curates vibes while dropping bars in real time.
The performance name “GioPatra” hints at her royal energy, while her alter ego “Givicii” suggests a playful nod to electronic music culture. This fusion of identities reflects her larger vision: to redefine the intersection between rap, live performance, and digital culture.
With tour dates promised to drop soon, #IAMNOTADJ is already shaping up to be one of the most innovative live performance concepts from a South African artist this year.
