MaWhoo's message as ambassador is clear
The singer used her past experiences to craft a very important piece of advice for women. More especially, navigating the challenging music industry. The Ngilemele hitmaker revealed that she was bullied at the height of her career.
“There was a time when people made me do music and sounds that didn’t speak to me. I couldn’t express myself fully,” she said.
This, according to MaWhoo, led to bullying, which she did not allow to happen.
"As a woman, stand your ground. Don't please others be favoured or sell your would. Teach people to respect you and your decisions. Being part of equal shows I'm seen and doing something right," she said.

MaWhoo flourishes in other genres
The singer proved that she is very versatile as she has hit songs in various genres. The star has a Maskandi hit with Gucci, she then stepped out of her comfort zone with three-step, having dominated the charts with two songs.
A previous song was Uzizwa Kanjani, instantly became a hit. Afterwards, MaWhoo teamed up with MaGL_Ceejay, Thukuthela and Jazzworx on the new track Bengicela.
MaWhoo faces legal action
Controversy always follows MaWhoo. The star was hit with a letter of demand on 16 May 2025 by Blue Screen Entertainment. This comes after the singer made some controversial remarks about the organisers of the event. The platform gave the star until the afternoon on 19 May 2025 to retract and apologise. However, MaWhoo missed the deadline to retract, so they took things further by filing the lawsuit.
Blue Screen accused MaWhoo of making "reckless and unfounded statements", claiming that this had harmed the company's reputation. The company then demanded "R1 million in damages, interest at 15.5% per annum, and legal costs on an attorney-client scale."
MaWhoo teams up with Lwah Ndlunkulu
In a previous report from Briefly News, Lwah Ndlunkulu and Mawhoo finally dropped their much-awaited single Unembeza.
The song explores themes of love and vulnerability, something both ladies do so effortlessly. The track had surpassed the 1.5 million views mark just five days after its release.
