Tanzanian music star Mbosso, real name Mbwana Yusuf Kilungi, had fans holding their breath after a terrifying water accident during a music video shoot.
In a viral clip, the Pawa hitmaker can be seen attempting to jump over a 30-centimetre wooden barrier into a lake. But as he sped toward the barrier, he lost his footing, struck his leg, and tumbled head-first into the water.
A gasp of shock rippled through the crew—but thanks to a nearby safety team on a small boat, Mbosso was swiftly rescued.
Still in his full attire and shoes, the singer was pulled to safety almost instantly. Shaken but unharmed, he reassured fans with a simple, “I’m okay.”
The incident spread rapidly on social media, with fans reacting with a mix of concern, relief, and humor. Comments ranged from playful jokes about his latest hit “Pawa” to admiration for his resilience.
Beyond the laughs and shock, the fall underscored the real dangers artists face while filming intricate stunts.
Fans and critics alike praised the quick response of Mbosso’s crew, whose preparedness prevented what could have been a tragic accident.
This near-miss is a powerful reminder of the risks behind the scenes—and of Mbosso’s enduring spirit, ready to rise again and entertain.
