Boity Honours Grandmother’s Legacy One Year After Her Passing. One year may have passed, but for Boity Thulo, time has done little to dull the ache of losing her beloved grandmother, affectionately known as Lelo.
In a soul-stirring Instagram post shared with her millions of followers, the South African media powerhouse and rapper penned a touching tribute that echoed with love, longing, and unshakable reverence.
“A whole year without you. 🥺 I hope you’re the happiest you’ve ever been in Heaven, Lelo,” she wrote, her words steeped in emotion. “Now you get to fly high with your kind up where you belong. ❤️ Till we meet again, my Queen.”
The post, accompanied by a heartfelt caption and a radiant throwback photo of Lelo, drew thousands of comments from fans who found solace, connection, and inspiration in Boity’s vulnerability. It wasn’t just a tribute — it was a celebration of a life that touched many beyond the family tree.
To her fans, Boity may be a chart-topping artist and trendsetting personality, but behind the glitz and glamour is a granddaughter still deeply moved by the gentle giant who raised her. Lelo, described as a beacon of warmth, wisdom, and grace, played a pivotal role in shaping the woman Boity is today. Her influence wasn’t just personal — it was foundational. “Lelo was always an angel on earth,” Boity wrote. “Now she’s where angels belong.”
