Babes Wodumo On Her "Comeback", Tha's Case And Hacked IG Account

Gqom queen Babes Wodumo, has almost seen it all in the local South African entertainment industry. The star who shot fame back in 2016 with her hit song Wololo, has been hogging the headlines for the wrong reasons lately.

From her tumultuous relationship with Mampintsha, to her social media accounts hacked and being accused of taking cocaine, Babes still manages to keep her head up high and mize the negative energy.

Speaking to ZAlebs, she says God helps her to conquer all the storms she may encounter. Speaking about how she has managed to rise again after her dramatic 2019 she says.

“It has never been easy but I have a good relationship with God. I tell him everything and he listens to me.”

Babes recently released her new album Idandokazi, Speaking about how it was working on it she says “It was really amazing and it’s been a very great experience to be able to get back into the studio and work with some great young producers again.”

Fans were not impressed with Mampintsha being featured on 13 songs, and they felt like he was trying to steal Babes Wodumo’s shine, commenting on that Babes says, “I believe we make music with whoever we like to work with during that specific time.”

The album has received mixed reactions from fans as some have given it a stamp of approval but some fans were not impressed by it. Babes says she still loves them regardless of the criticism.

“We are family and family do go through bad and good days. I love my fellow South Africans and I wouldn’t trade them for anything,” she explains.

The BET nominee artist has refuted claims that this album is her comeback, as fans are adamant that she is back to reclaim her spot with it.

“It’s really funny cause I never left, I was around and busy performing. I’m a Queen for goodness sake, I’ve been booked every weekend until I got a space to record due to the Lockdown,” she says.

Babes recently announced that she has bounced back to Instagram, after a year-long social media hiatus due to her account being hacked. The hacker was causing a stir on social media and she says they have learnt their lesson as a team .

“We’ve learnt our lesson and we are more vigilant now.” Asked if she knows the hacker she says she cannot name and shame now.

The singer recently trended on social media after she went live on Instagram with Durban-based entertainer Tha Simelane who accused her of allegedly taking cocaine. Babes says she has decided to sue her for defamation of character she says she cant reveal much about what is happening with the case now.

“Tha’s case is still being handled by the SAPS which I can’t really say anything much about it,” she says.

The entertainer has also rubbished reports that she has a bun baking in her sexy oven. This follows after her look at the Fact Durban Rocks virtual event set tongues wagging.

Babes donned a jacket which was tenting in the front prompting fans to speculate that she is pregnant. “I’m a Queen.., people will always talk whenever I’m doing something.”

As the lockdown restrictions have been eased artists have been bagging more gigs and Babes says she is very excited “I can’t wait to see the people’s reactions when I get to perform my new hit songs from my latest album. It’s more like getting a new ride and you’ve been waiting for too long to get into the road and feel it,” she says.
