In an industry often glamorized by late nights, parties, and excess, Toya’s decision to step away from that environment was not an easy one. “I did it for me, and I’m so proud of that decision, especially being in an industry that’s so party focused. I’ve fallen in love with the clarity that sobriety has given me through all the challenges that have come up along the journey,” she wrote. Her message resonated deeply with fans, not only for its honesty but for the sense of peace and empowerment it carried.

Toya’s reflection also served as a heartfelt message to others still caught in the grip of addiction. “To anyone trying to quit, I want to encourage you: it’s possible, no matter how many times you have to start again. Just don’t give up. I’m not better than anyone; I’m just grateful to still be here, clear, and growing,” she shared. Her humility and empathy struck a chord with followers who have seen her evolve both musically and personally over the years.

Support flooded in from fans and fellow celebrities alike. South African actor SK Khoza commented, “Onwards and upwards, sister… Stay strong on this journey.” Another follower, @dj_de_los_angelez, echoed the sentiment, writing, “It’s definitely an industry that has easy access to all that’s not good for you, but we can find our way when we sit back and look at why we’re in a party atmosphere! Good for you finding your way I’ve recently had an awakening to all this and I’m on my path.”

Meanwhile, @teinyeboyle praised Toya’s authenticity, saying, “You are one of a kind, a true leader of her very own tribe. ❤️” South African actress Samkelo Ndlovu added, “Well done Shenge, your future self is so proud of present you. 👏🏾”

The overwhelming positivity surrounding Toya’s post speaks to how her story of healing has touched many lives. Beyond her sobriety, her journey is also one of creative and spiritual rediscovery. In 2017, Toya made the life-changing decision to move from South Africa to London, stepping into independence as an artist determined to carve out her own path. The relocation gave her the space to reconnect with her roots and spirituality, exploring her Zulu heritage through a modern, global sound.

A multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, pianist, and producer, Toya has been pushing boundaries since she began composing and performing as a child. The granddaughter of the late Zulu chief and statesman Mangosuthu Buthelezi, she started playing classical piano at the age of nine, blending her early training with contemporary influences to create a unique sound she calls “Afro-rave” a fusion of electronic beats, drum and bass, and Zulu lyricism.

Today, her story stands as a testament to resilience and self-awareness. By choosing sobriety, Toya Delazy has not only reclaimed her life but has also emerged as an inspiration for countless fans across the world. Her words are a reminder that recovery is not about perfection it’s about persistence, forgiveness and growth.

As she celebrates three years of clarity, Toya’s journey is a beautiful reflection of strength proof that even in an industry defined by chaos and temptation, healing and wholeness are possible. Through her music and her message, she continues to shine a light for those finding their way through the dark, one sober day at a time.
