Gigi Lamayne embraces spiritual renewal with baptism and new music! South African rapper Gigi Lamayne has taken a powerful and deeply personal step in her spiritual journey—she recently got baptized, marking a significant transformation in both her life and career. The multifaceted artist, known for her lyrical prowess and thought-provoking music, shared the moment on Instagram this past Sunday, reflecting on her faith, redemption, and the journey that brought her to this turning point.

“To God Be the Glory”

In a heartfelt post accompanied by a video of the baptism ceremony, Gigi opened up about the emotional significance of the moment.

“To God be the glory. He is faithful. He is a God of second chances. He never gives up, until we give in,” she wrote. “Thank you to my spiritual leaders, amazing family, friends, partner, and strangers who helped me to this point.”

Her message resonated with fans and fellow artists, many of whom flooded her comments with love and support. She added, “I’m so glad to be part of such an amazing kingdom. To serve, and to be purposeful. Through the adversities, forgiving oneself and starting all over, there was another in the fire standing next to me.”

A New Chapter

The baptism is more than just a spiritual milestone for Gigi—it represents a new beginning that extends into her professional life as well. Shortly before the baptism, she released her highly anticipated project, “Doves and Scones,” an album that she describes as a celebration of spiritual rebirth, clarity, and transformation.

“This is a celebration. It’s a very beautiful rebirth. I’m in a very good place. There’s no lack, there’s no want,” Gigi said during the album’s launch.

She added that the project represents her newfound peace and alignment with her purpose. “Doves and Scones is a new chapter in my bible. It’s nice where I am.”

A Cleaner, More Conscious Sound

Gigi acknowledged that her spiritual growth has influenced her creative direction. When asked whether her faith has affected the album’s content, she admitted she intentionally kept the lyrics cleaner and more conscious.

“I didn’t want us to cuss a lot in this one. That’s the space I am in,” she explained. “I enjoy doing things genuinely, and I want so much more for my life.”

This subtle but powerful shift reflects a maturing artist who is no longer driven solely by commercial expectations but by a deeper desire for authenticity and spiritual alignment.

A Return to Her Roots

While many fans know Gigi as a bold and unapologetic voice in hip-hop, her spiritual foundation runs deep. She revealed that her journey began in the church, and after many personal experiences and revelations—including answering her ancestral calling in 2020—she has now found herself back where it all started.

“I got into a comfortable space where I found my Lord and saviour and that’s a good place to be in,” she said. “I felt this is something I had to do. I am in such a healthy and amazing relationship. I grew up in the church and I have kind of returned to the church. I am in a good place with God.”

In 2020, she made headlines when she publicly accepted her ancestral calling, wearing traditional red and white beads and cloth to symbolize her connection to her lineage. That chapter, she says, helped guide her toward her current spiritual space.

A Journey of Self-Discovery

Gigi Lamayne’s baptism and new music represent not just a shift in genre or tone but a deeply rooted transformation of self. With “Doves and Scones,” she reintroduces herself to the world—not just as a rapper, but as a woman grounded in faith, purpose, and self-love.

In her own words, she is now walking in light, “serving” and “being purposeful.” And for her fans, that light is beginning to shine brighter than ever.
