Amapiano sensation MaWhoo wowed fans and music lovers alike with a stunning live performance during her recent appearance on Metro FM’s Midday Unplugged. Known for her unique voice and captivating presence, the talented vocalist delivered a powerful medley that reminded Mzansi why she remains one of the genre’s brightest stars.
In a video shared by @PianoConnectSA on X, MaWhoo appeared in a striking orange dress and performed a soulful mashup of her most popular hits. She kicked off the session with her memorable verse from Kabza De Small and Mthunzi’s hit “Amazwe”, followed by a heartfelt rendition of her solo track “Ngilimele” — both songs having earned viral success on streaming platforms and social media.
Fans were quick to shower the star with praise online, applauding her vocal control, emotional delivery, and elegance. Many hailed the performance as a showcase of her raw talent, with some calling it one of the best unplugged sessions on Metro FM this year.
MaWhoo has consistently proven that she is more than just a featured artist. With a signature sound that blends soulful vocals with amapiano’s infectious beats, she has carved a unique space for herself in the genre. Her rise has not gone unnoticed either — MaWhoo is currently nominated at the Metro FM Music Awards 2025 in the Best Styled Artist category.
During her visit to the station, she took a moment to encourage fans to vote for her, expressing gratitude for the recognition and urging supporters to help her bring the award home.
Speaking about her nomination, MaWhoo said, “Before music, I used to do fashion-related things. I used to own a boutique shop. So when I received the nomination, I was so happy. It means a lot. Also, being recognised by a big radio station such as Metro FM, I am very happy and humbled. I am passionate about fashion,” she said before encouraging her fans to vote for her, she said.
The Midday Unplugged performance reminded audiences of MaWhoo’s undeniable presence in the industry — not just as a featured vocalist, but as a powerful artist in her own right. Her ability to connect emotionally with fans through live vocals is proof of her lasting impact on South African music.
With her rising star and award nominations stacking up, MaWhoo continues to show that she’s one of the true queens of amapiano.
