Kenyan singer Charisma's unusual concert tradition returned during his latest live performance at The Waterfront Karen, where female fans once again threw bras towards the stage.
The moment happened during Charisma Live 5, held on Saturday, August 22, 2026.
Videos from the event showed fans handing or throwing bras towards the singer as he performed.
The incident quickly became another talking point from the concert, adding to a trend that has increasingly been associated with Charisma's live performances.
The tradition continues
Bra-throwing has previously featured at several of Charisma's performances.
The singer has also spoken publicly about the unusual gifts from his female fans.
In 2025, Radio47 reported that Charisma claimed to have received more than 390 bras from fans during his performances. Another report later put the number at 404.
“Every time I perform that song, it happens. It’s crazy.”
The gesture has been particularly linked to his song Sina Noma, whose lyrics have encouraged playful reactions from his female audience.
Charisma has previously embraced the trend. During a 2024 Blankets & Wine performance, reports indicated that he incorporated some of the bras into his appearance.
What happened at Waterfront Karen?
The latest incident was captured in videos shared on social media following Charisma Live 5.
In a shared video posted by Nairobi Gossip Club, shows fans gifting Charisma bras during his performance at Waterfront Karen.
The concert was promoted as the fifth edition of his live show series, bringing together fans for an afternoon and evening of music and entertainment.
The repeated incidents have made the bra-throwing tradition part of the wider conversation around Charisma's stage presence and his connection with his audience.
A growing concert phenomenon
Throwing underwear at performers is not unique to Kenya. The practice has been seen internationally, including at performances by artists such as Tom Jones, Drake and Harry Styles.
For Charisma, however, the gesture has developed into a recognizable feature of his own shows.
The Waterfront Karen incident shows that the tradition is still going strong, with fans continuing to find unconventional ways to express their excitement during his performances.
As videos from the concert circulate online, the bras have once again become part of the Charisma Live conversation — proving that for some fans, watching the singer perform is only part of the experience.
