Interjection. Not the same at "what's up" which is interrogative.
Whatup is a public request for recognition. It can be used to loudly declare one's success, something akin to "whatnowmothafucka!" (also not a question). Or it can be used as a subdued call for acknowledgement, something like "I told you so".
