South African singer Mawhoo is once again at the center of an online debate after a video of her recent live performance went viral. The clip, shared by news and gossip platform MDNews, captured her outfit choice during the show, which quickly became a topic of discussion on social media.
In the video, Mawhoo can be seen performing at an unidentified event, dressed in an outfit that some online users deemed inappropriate for the occasion. The backlash was swift, with many social media users criticizing her attire and questioning whether it was suitable for a live performance.
One Twitter (X) user commented:
“That’s what we call a multi-task—performing and advertising at the same time.”
Another criticized her lack of effort in preparing for the show:
“It’s very disrespectful to the organizers, fans, and everyone involved to come to a performance without putting any effort into your outfit. If you are going to be miming, the least you can do is have a good outfit. Makhadzi must open a school and teach these people how it’s done.”
While many were quick to drag Mawhoo for her fashion choice, others came to her defense, arguing that people should focus on her music rather than her wardrobe. Some pointed out that fashion is subjective and that artists should be free to express themselves in whatever way they feel comfortable.
A supporter wrote:
“Nothing wrong here, camera person is the one who is dirty🤞🏾.”
Another added:
“People love to hate. Mawhoo is doing her thing, and she looks stunning.”
While Mawhoo has yet to respond to the online debate, it is clear that her recent performance has once again put her in the spotlight—not just for her music, but for the ongoing conversation about fashion, artistry, and public perception in the entertainment industry.
