A video of MaWhoo claiming that she's being contacted by several top rappers has resurfaced and is once again making the rounds on social media.

During her interview on The L-Tido Podcast in March 2024, the singer revealed that she had received messages on her Instagram page from the likes of rappers Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.

The conversation started when MaWhoo explained the origin name of one of her projects, What A Time To Be Alive, with L-Tido revealing that it was also the title of rappers Drake and Future's joint album. This led to the singer name-dropping some of the men in her DMs.

The singer, who is famous not only for her incredible music but also for her striking good looks, also mentioned Jay-Z's name, and while he is hardly active on social media, she did not confirm whether he, too, had been messaging her.

Her statements were met with vibrant reactions from the online community, with many people quick to dismiss her claims.
