"Kelly's music evolves."

The song created a bit of scandal when it was first released due to its suggestive name. Kelly Khumalo just can't stay away from controversy. The title of her new song is Ngathwala Ngaye, which has rubbed many social media users up the wrong way.

Although the song is an innocent love ballad, the title has a double meaning which many believe alludes to Senzo Meyiwa's murder.

In the isiZulu language, 'ukuthwala' refers to the killing of a person for the purpose of using their sacrifice to attain wealth using dark magic. However, in the context of the song, the term refers to being head-over-heels in love.

The ambiguity has left many social media users fuming. Twitter user NtokoGift said:

"Ooh ngoSenzo nkos yami."
