The pop singer is a huge hit in her native country after rising to fame by winning the third series of of Azerbaijan.
Now, she is representing the country with her song, Just Go.
But at the end of her performance, as she thanked the audience for their support, fans mistakenly thought she said something rather questionable.
Jiva could be heard saying: “Thank you !”
She then appeared to randomly say: “P***y!”
Reacting online, one shocked fan said: “Not the Azerbaijani singer leaving the stage with screaming p***y!”
Whilst another wrote: “The BBC isn’t gonna like this one.”
However, she was actually saying the word “bussi” – a common Austrian word for ‘kiss’.
It is used to denote friendliness and is used as a term of affection amongst close pals.
The final of the contest is taking place in Austria tomorrow evening.
However, fans won’t be watching Jiva again after she failed to qualify.
She was one of five acts eliminated during last night’s semi-final.
