Rapper Gigi Lamayne launches health, wellness business

Hip hop artist and reality TV star Gigi Lamayne – real name Genesis Gabriella Tina Manney – is making boss moves! The Mashonisa rapper officially launched her IV Zeal Therapy Lounge – a wellness store – located at The Marc Shopping Centre in Sandton, Johannesburg.

Taking to her Instagram on the day of the launch, Saturday 9 December, the musician wrote: “Welcome to @ivzealsandton . An early Christmas present from me to me ! Stop by out our IV Lounge for your hangover , energy boost and skin glow drips. Cannot wait to share more content on our launch yesterday. A fabulous occasion. Thank you to everyone for coming through.

The store specializes in sports recovery, hangover, anti-aging, energy booster and multivitamin drips.
Speaking to Zimoja, Gigi Lamayne said she has developed a growing passion for the industry.

“I have been obsessed with health, fitness, and wellness lately,” she told the publication. I have been exposed to a lot of new knowledge on how to keep healthy. As artists we tend to put a lot of things into our bodies and do not understand the detrimental effects. I wanted people to learn from me but also have a space where they can get the necessary minerals, stay healthy, and keep changing their dreams. The rapper said she funded her business with money she made through her music.

Years of saving, investing, working smart and not buying that expensive car and waiting for one day to do something this big. This is just the beginning of the fruits of my labour and I am extremely grateful to everyone who supported me in staying disciplined. Currently, she has four employees. It’s a really exciting time because these are all amazing women. Being able to empower other women while creating jobs brings me joy.
