Moozlie is celebrating a major career milestone as she marks 14 years in South Africa’s entertainment industry with the release of a new track, “BIG 3 FREESTYLE.”
The rapper, television personality and entrepreneur, whose real name is Nomuzi Mabena, is using the release to reflect on her journey while making it clear that she has no plans to slow down.
Moozlie celebrates 14 years of growth
Moozlie took to social media to reflect on the milestone, expressing gratitude for the journey and the people who have supported her throughout her career.
Her message was rooted in faith and optimism, with the entertainer looking ahead to what she believes is still possible.
For Moozlie, the anniversary is more than simply a number. It represents more than a decade of navigating music, television, fashion, business and the wider entertainment industry.
‘BIG 3 FREESTYLE’ marks the moment
The new release gives Moozlie an opportunity to put her rap skills back in the spotlight.
Produced by Funk Tone, “BIG 3 FREESTYLE” comes with a visual directed by Maverick Seizure, adding a polished visual component to the celebratory release.
Rather than looking back purely for nostalgia, Moozlie uses the moment to reaffirm her identity as an artist and creative.
The freestyle also serves as a reminder of her longevity in a constantly changing South African entertainment landscape.
From MTV Base VJ Search to a lasting career
Moozlie’s breakthrough came on 20 October 2012, when she won the MTV Base VJ Search.
That victory launched her into the spotlight and opened doors across South African television. She subsequently became associated with platforms including MTV Base, Vuzu and Channel O.
But television was only one part of her ambitions.
She went on to develop her career as a recording artist and entrepreneur, establishing Nomuzi Mabena Music and releasing projects including the Versus mixtape in 2017, followed by Victory in 2018 and Spirit of an OG in 2020.
Her creative work has also extended beyond recording, with involvement in songwriting, styling and performance.
The next chapter is already underway
Fourteen years after first stepping into the national spotlight, Moozlie is still building.
“BIG 3 FREESTYLE” is therefore both a celebration and a statement: she appreciates how far she has travelled, but she is not treating longevity as the end goal.
With a career that has moved between television, hip-hop, fashion and entrepreneurship, Moozlie has continued to reinvent herself while maintaining her presence in South African pop culture.
For her supporters, the message is clear — 14 years down, but there is still more to come.
What do you think of Moozlie’s “BIG 3 FREESTYLE”? Is she entering another major chapter of her career?
