MaWhoo is celebrating a major digital milestone for “Bengicela,” which has surpassed 90 million views on YouTube just one year after its release. The song, released alongside GL Ceejay and Thukuthela and featuring JAZZWRLD, has continued to attract audiences across major digital platforms, adding another significant achievement to MaWhoo’s growing catalogue.
The milestone came as an unexpected surprise for MaWhoo, who initially believed that “Bengicela” had reached 20 million YouTube views. The singer shared a message thanking listeners for helping the song reach the 20-million mark, only to discover that the official lyric video had already accumulated more than 90 million views.
The confusion stemmed from the different versions of the song available on YouTube. MaWhoo had initially checked the track’s audio upload, which had recorded around 20 million views. However, the official lyric video had performed significantly better, crossing the 90-million-view milestone within a year of the song’s release.
“Thank you for 20 million views on YouTube,” MaWhoo said in her initial celebration before the figures from the official lyric video revealed the much larger achievement.
The discovery transformed what began as a 20-million-view celebration into a major digital milestone. For MaWhoo and the other artists involved, the numbers highlight the continued reach and popularity of “Bengicela” among listeners.
The song has also delivered impressive results on Spotify, where it has surpassed 48 million streams. Its performance across both YouTube and Spotify demonstrates the track’s strong digital footprint and continued appeal beyond its initial release.
“Bengicela” brings together MaWhoo, GL Ceejay and Thukuthela, with JAZZWRLD contributing to the production and overall sound of the track. Its sustained performance has established it as one of the notable releases in MaWhoo’s catalogue in terms of digital consumption.
Reaching more than 90 million views on the official lyric video within a year represents a substantial achievement for the song. Combined with more than 48 million Spotify streams, the figures provide a clear snapshot of its journey across two of the world’s biggest music platforms.
For MaWhoo, the unexpected discovery has given the song’s first anniversary an added reason for celebration. What initially appeared to be a 20-million-view milestone ultimately revealed itself to be a 90-million-view achievement, underscoring the continued support from audiences and the growing impact of “Bengicela.”
