MaWhoo generated significant buzz across social media platforms after her live performance at the Upenyu Festival in Harare, Zimbabwe, where a clip of a revealing moment went viral.
The singer took the stage at this first-time event held in Lifestyle Park on Saturday, 18 April 2026, celebrating the occasion organized by the Nyaradzo Group.
Although her set was captivating, it was a video posted by entertainment site EarGround that quickly became the focal point of discussions online.
In the footage, MaWhoo is performing her track Thokoza with Sam Deep, but viewers were drawn to moments that exposed her underwear during the act.
This incident incited a wave of reactions, with many netizens focusing on the video rather than the music itself.
Some individuals on social media turned the situation light-hearted, commending the cameraman’s work.
“Cameraman well done,” commented Maps Kudakwashe Maponde, while another user, Fanuel Muchacha, quipped, “Cameraman you deserve a beer 🍺😂.”
Alvin Tatenda Matsangaise inquired, “Why is this video 2 hours long 😂?”
Others likened her presence on stage to that of bold personalities like Zodwa Wabantu, with Armstrong Hoto noting, “Zodwa Wabantu influence there.”
However, not all responses were flattering; some viewers expressed disappointment with the performance, claiming other local Zimbabwean artists outshone her that night.
MaWhoo, known for her audacious fashion choices, has encountered similar critiques about her on-stage attire before.
The event in Harare also showcased the talents of Zimbabwean star Sha Sha, who captivated the audience with her own performance.
