In African culture, legitimising a pregnancy is a process where two families formally meet to receive the news of a woman's pregnancy and, after that, decide the direction of her relationship with her boyfriend. In some families, they even suggest marriage, or they slaughter a goat or sheep to welcome the woman and the pregnancy into their home.

While the TikTok post was beautiful, some netizens had a problem with the sound the woman chose to merge all her footage. They did not entirely agree that the song was appropriate for the event she had recorded; they held it with a sacred regard to lobola negotiations, which the woman hadn't reached.

Netizens camped in the comments to discuss the woman's journey and the usage of the forbidden sound:

@Bõñgīwē Fëfè Jõzî loved the lady's vlog:

"I am glad there's still people who follow this part of our culture because wow."
