IsiXhosa songstress Zahara recently made waves on social media with her bold rendition of Rihanna’s hit song. During a performance, she fearlessly sang her soul to the popular track from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever movie in isiXhosa, captivating audiences with her unique interpretation.
A video of Zahara’s performance was posted on Twitter by user @Koke_Moshe, and it quickly garnered attention. However, instead of receiving praise and admiration, Zahara faced criticism from tweeps who urged her to stop.

One user, @Rori_Ramorena, questioned whether Zahara was intoxicated during the performance, to which @Koke_Moshe responded with suspicion. Others, like @ta_marah7, couldn’t understand what the issue was with Zahara’s rendition, while @kaymo058 compared it to another artist’s performance.
Despite the negative feedback, Zahara’s fans came to her defense. @Kello_Lello pointed out that Zahara has faced allegations of being a drunkard in the past, and this performance only added fuel to the fire. On the other hand, @MagabaSana suspected that someone was intentionally trying to sabotage Zahara’s career.
One fan, @Sli_Simelane, expressed concern that Zahara’s recent performances give the impression that she no longer cares about her craft.
