She was backed by Hip-hop artist, Ludacris who said that everybody needs to take responsibility for the HIV problem "You asked how other ways can people can do it. Besides the concert you can go personally and speak to the kids and speak to the youths and of course you can do it through music the same way we are doing it here. But that's one thing that I have done here."
The stars are due to perform at the 46664 concert in Johannesburg tomorrow - World Aids Day (December 1st).
