Mawhoo said:

"I remember this another time she said that she wanted me to help her and that she would come to Joburg, okay, she came and we did a song, but unfortunately it didn't work. The beef started when she started fighting with my sister. I remember my sister was hosting an event, I was booked, and she was also booked, but drama began when she wanted to get almost 12 people in who didn't buy tickets. A lot was going on.

"And then the following day, when my sister demanded her refund, Naledi started swearing and insulting uAmahle (Mawhoo's sister), yoh, I can't even repeat the things she said because she also spoke ill about my sister's dead child. It got bad."

Mawhoo further mentioned that after she beefed with her sister, Naledi, then started trashing her, and she decided that she is not going to entertain Naledi Aphiwe and decided to distance herself from her.
