The Ukhozi FM 2024 Song of the Year winner, together with Sithelo Shozi and Cyan Boujee, were linked to Lerutla following his arrest. An X (Twitter) user even implored the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to check whether the trio were beneficiaries of stolen funds.

MacG and Sol Phenduka discuss claims linking MaWhoo to corruption case

Sol Phenduka passionately expressed disappointment that MaWhoo’s name was among the list of baddies who had allegedly benefited from corruption. The former Kaya FM host questioned how the singer’s name was popping up alongside less talented individuals.

“MaWhoo is so talented. Why is she popping up in these things, and you are so talented? You're making a killing. You've got the talent, you've got the hits, you've got the catalogue, you're gigging. You're earning good money. Why are you being brought up with slayqueens? Slayqueens who are not that talented,” Sol Phenduka said.

Ghost Lady explained that MaWhoo had signalled to tenderpreneurs that she was available to date them through her comments about girlfriend allowance.

“MaWhoo positioned herself like that when she started talking about how much she must get from a man. That's when it's like literally you are putting yourself out there, advertising yourself like out for,” Ghost Lady said.

Sol Phenduka suggested that MaWhoo should focus on her music career rather than chasing the soft life by dating tenderpreneurs.

“God has blessed you with an amazing talent and a way to get yourself out of poverty, which he has. You know she's gone; you're earning. You're an A-list artist, you're a festival headline,” Sol Phenduka added.

MacG agreed with Sol Phenduka and took a swipe at Cyan Boujee, explaining why dating a tenderpreneur would be more acceptable for her than MaWhoo.

“You're right, you're right, Phenduka. With like a Cyan, it makes sense ‘cause she’s got no talent. You understand what I’m saying? She has to make ends meet,” MacG said.
