Congratulatory messages seemed to be in order after Matorokisi hitmaker Makhadzi – real name Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona – took a picture next to a new Maserati recently, but unfortunately for fans, it's not her car.

In the picture, Makhadzi stands in front of the luxury car which costs just over R2.6 million according to Car Guide.

Social media users were quick to assume that the car was hers, some went as far as saying she was gifted the navy beast with brown leather interior seats however, the speculations over this picture are supposedly unfounded.

Speaking to Move!, Makhadzi's brand manager, Talifhani Banks, confirmed that she did not purchase the car.

"She didn't buy the car. She just liked it and took a picture," he said.

The Limpopo singer became talk of the town after her impressive performance at the DStv Mzansi Viewers' Choice Awards last week.

In January, she posted a picture of her new ride on her Instagram – a red Mercedes Benz.

True members of the BeyHive know that Beyoncé's full name is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.

Just in case you didn't know, Bey's first name serves as a tribute to mother Tina Knowles-Lawson' French maiden name Beyincé (pronounced, "bay-EN-say").

While that may be a common fact, apparently fans of the "Flawless" singer want to know more about Queen Bey's mother.

Recently, we ran across Google's search feature that allows celebrities and public figures to answer "most asked questions" about themselves, and apparently, people are eagerly searching for Miss Tina's "real name."

No worries. Flaunting her signature red lipstick, the 66-year-old mother of two yielded the details.

"Hi, my real name is, Tina Beyincé Knowles-Lawson. Célestine is my real name. I'm sure that's what you're asking," Mrs. Tina shared during the selfie-style video. "But, as a kid, my last name being Beyincé was a big name. I wanted my name to be 'Linda Smith'."

She explained, "That was the time. It wasn't cool to have an odd name. And my name was Célestine Beyincé, so I change it in the sixth grade to Tina, which I thought was way cooler."

"So it is actually Célestine Beyincé Knowles Lawson," the Texas-born beauty concluded with a smile.

There you have it! Facts from the fabulous mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles.
