Oscar Mbo Faces Backlash Over Stage Incident With Vocalist Kharishma
- The Limpopo Artists' Movement is urging a boycott of Oscar Mbo's upcoming show in the province
- This follows claims that the DJ/producer forcibly removed Vocalist Kharishma from the stage after arriving late for his set
- Fans and fellow artists are rallying behind Kharishma, condemning Oscar Mbo's actions as disrespectful
There’s been a lot of chatter in Limpopo lately, and it’s not the kind of buzz that Oscar Mbo probably wanted. The DJ and producer are facing serious backlash after an incident involving Vocalist Kharishma at a recent event. The Limpopo Artists' Movement has stepped in, urging fans and locals to boycott his upcoming performances in the province. It seems like this drama is just getting started.
Why Limpopo is Calling for an Apology
Let me break it down for you. Oscar Mbo, known for hits like "Yes God," was booked to perform at the Blouberg Spring Annual Festival on September 28, 2024. However, when he showed up late, he allegedly had Vocalist Kharishma, a beloved local artist, removed from the stage mid-performance. Now, this didn’t sit well with the crowd—or the wider Limpopo community. Kwenisto Makgakga, a Facebook user, was among the first to speak out, alleging that Oscar and his team showed no regard for Kharishma’s set or her connection with the audience.
TimesLIVE reported that Mphoza Mashabela, the founder of the Limpopo Artists' Movement, is leading the charge against Oscar Mbo. Mashabela insists that the province deserves respect and that artists like Kharishma should be treated with dignity. He emphasized the need for promoters to prioritize local talent over outsiders who might overlook the value of homegrown artists. Mashabela went on to say:

“We demand respect for Limpopo artists and call on promoters to treat them with dignity. Any promoter found favoring Gauteng artists at the expense of locals will face boycotts and blacklisting.”
For Kharishma, the incident has left a lasting impact. Speaking about the experience, she expressed her heartbreak, saying:
“What they did to me at the Blouberg Festival is unfair and is something I’ll never heal from.”
Mzansi Stands Behind Kharishma
The people of Limpopo—and beyond—are rallying behind Kharishma in a big way. Social media has been flooded with messages of support, showing just how much she means to her community. Mammie Ebenezer chimed in, stating:
“What Oscar and his people did to you is not okay.”
Refilwe Ramohlola also voiced her support, reminding Kharishma of her worth:
“We cannot be bullied by people from Gauteng in our own province; we stand by our artists. Vocalist Kharishma, please don’t let this weigh you down; you are special.”
Even comedians like It’sYour Boy Matic joined the conversation, echoing the sentiments of many:
“Oscar truly disrespected you.”
Nina Mokomele added a lighthearted touch to the discussion, joking:
“You should have called Shebe so he could teach him a lesson.”
Toaster DA Singer offered words of encouragement, reminding Kharishma that challenges are temporary:

“Be strong, my dear. We all have challenges, and you will win; every situation is not permanent.”
Shebe’s Troubled History with Event Promoters
While the focus remains on Oscar Mbo, another artist in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons is Shebeshxt. Earlier, Briefly News reported on an incident where an event organizer claimed the rapper failed to show up for a gig despite being paid in advance. The organizer recounted how he was passed from one person to another in Shebeshxt’s management team, only to eventually be ghosted. This isn’t the first time Shebe has faced such accusations, and past incidents have even threatened to land him in legal trouble.
As the music industry continues to evolve, it’s clear that artists must navigate not only their craft but also the expectations of their fans and promoters. For now, the eyes of Limpopo—and perhaps the entire nation—are on Oscar Mbo to see how he responds to the growing backlash. Will he issue an apology? Only time will tell.
