South African singer Busisiwe Nolubabalo Nqwiliso, better known as Bucie, has shared her thoughts on the challenges of being a public figure while navigating one of life's toughest experiences—a divorce. In a candid conversation, the star opened up about how fame and personal struggles intersect, offering a glimpse into the emotional journey she's been through.

How Fame Complicated Bucie's Divorce
Bucie, a multiple award-winning artist, sat down with the King David Podcast to discuss her separation from her Zimbabwean ex-husband, Nhlanhla Nkomo. The conversation shed light on the complexities of going through a divorce when you're in the public eye. For Bucie, the experience wasn't just about personal heartbreak—it was about managing the added pressure of public scrutiny.
"It’s the life of someone who is in the public eye," Bucie explained. "You pick up your phone, and you just want to read something, but instead, you're shaking. Your stomach is turning because you're reading things people say about you without a second thought. They don’t care about the truth or how it affects you—they just say what they want." This level of public attention can be overwhelming, and for Bucie, it added another layer of difficulty to an already tough situation.

The "Superman" singer continued, "It’s the downside of fame. You give so much of yourself to the world, but sometimes, the world doesn’t give back the kindness or understanding you need."
Why Strength Became Essential for Bucie
In addition to dealing with the emotional weight of her divorce, Bucie had to find strength for those around her—her children, her mother, and even her ex-husband. This wasn't just about personal resilience; it was about setting an example for her family and ensuring they felt supported during a challenging time.
She said, "At some point, you have to be strong—not just for yourself, but for the people who depend on you. I had to be strong for my mom, my sisters, and especially my children. They needed me to show up, even when I felt like hiding."
Interestingly, Bucie also extended her strength to her ex-husband, Nhlanhla Nkomo. She acknowledged that public perception of him wasn't always fair, and she felt it was important to protect his image as well. "People were saying things about him that weren’t true, and I couldn’t just sit back and let that happen," she revealed.
Bucie's Return to the Stage
After her personal struggles, Bucie made a triumphant return to the music scene, performing in Angola and other countries. In an interview with Briefly News, she expressed how being back on stage reignited her passion for music and performing. "There’s nothing like the connection you have with your audience," she shared. "When I stepped back onto that stage, I felt alive again. It reminded me why I do what I do."
"The connection I had with the audience was powerful," Bucie said. "It reaffirmed my passion for performing and creating music that touches people’s lives. Music is my therapy, and sharing it with others is where I find my peace."
Bucie's Journey with Borderline Personality Disorder
In a previous interview with Briefly News, Bucie opened up about her diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD). This mental health condition has been a part of her journey, but she's learned to manage it effectively, finding balance and stability after some tough episodes.
Bucie's return to the music scene is a testament to her resilience and determination. "I’ve learned so much about myself through all of this," she reflected. "Managing my emotions and staying grounded has been key. Now, I’m back doing what I love, and I feel stronger than ever."
