Singer Kelly Khumalo Catches Smoke Over Her Dress: “Not Her Wearing Moonchild’s Wig”

• South African award-winning singer Kelly Khumalo recently received massive backlash on social media regarding her outfit
• An online user shared a picture of the star wearing a cute dress, which quickly went viral
• Khumalo caught smoke online after people suggested that she was wearing Moonchild Sanelly's wig as a dress

Award-winning singer and songwriter Kelly Khumalo became the talk of the town on social media recently over her latest dress code.

On Sunday, 7 September 2025, an online user @ApheleleJody posted a picture of the star who has been constantly accused of murdering her baby daddy and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa, on X (formerly Twitter).

However, instead of getting compliments for her outfit, Khumalo found herself catching smoke over the dress with others jokingly stating that she was wearing Moonchild Sanelly's wig.

This jab reached Moonchild Sanelly, who found it funny and also responded by jokingly saying that Khumalo's dress actually looked like her signature wig.
