South African musician Makhadzi explained that pushing her dancer off stage, as seen in a viral video, was not what she intended to do.
Makhadzi said that the song was listed second on her setlist of songs to perform so she could not allow the stage to get wet because they would not have been able to finish the performance. Speaking during a live stream on Facebook in reaction to the uproar caused by her actions, the singer explained that she wanted to move her dancer out of the way to prevent her from wetting the stage which would cut their performance short. People were left mortified after seeing Makhadzi push one of her dancers off stage in the middle of a performance earlier this week, however, the singer has said that she believes she had a good reason to do so.
