Bucie speaks on fame and being in the spotlight

Bucie quit being in the spotlight a year ago, after it became too much for her.

She recently shared how much she had come to hate fame prior to her announcement.

“I grew up wanting to be famous. I think what I wanted was to be famous and everyone to know me. All I wanted was to be famous then. Now it is different. Now I want nothing to do with fame. I just want to sing and have no one know the face behind the voice. It is so exhausting.”

Fame made Bucie feel very miserable, especially when people felt they were entitled to say whatever they wanted about her.

Speaking about lessons she had learned from the music industry last year, Bucie revealed that one of them was that the industry could be a cruel place.

“If someone is not your blood relative‚ they aren’t your family‚ she says. It’s a cruel industry and you realise that those who have made it and who you look upto are the very same people who oppress you”.

Bucie reveals the difficulties she went through while pregnant

Bucie has revealed she underwent pregnancy complications that led to deliver her child at only six and a half months.

She revealed to Metro FM  that her pregnancies were not easy.

“My first born son, which I had at 18, there was complications…my second, Aphiwe, I had him at six and a half months. He was premature.”

Explaining why she called her son Aphiwe, she said it was because they both could have died during her pregnancy and childbirth, but managed to survive.

“There were complications to the point where doctors thought that if they kept him still, (cause my water broke very early so they tried to buy time to 30 or 31 weeks) if he stayed in mommy for another day we were both going to die, or one of us wouldn’t make it. So he is a miracle.”

Baby number two for Bucie

Singer Bucie is pregnant. She has asked for privacy from her fans and media, as she and her husband prepare to welcome their second child.

Leaked news

A close source revealed the news over the weekend. Bucie confirmed that they are preparing to welcome an addition to the family.

“I am growing my family. I love my family life. I’m more than happy because I love being a wife and a mother,” she said.

Because of the pregnancy news leak, Bucie was disappointed.

“It is still very early in the pregnancy and I am not comfortable to speak about it yet. Especially because traditionally we don’t announce anything at such an early stage. I don’t understand why it is being spoken about when I left music to just be a mom and wife,” she said.

Bucie gave birth earlier this year, after announcing her pregnancy on the last season of Idols SA.

She announced her retirement to focus on her family.
