The self-proclaimed gqom queen Babes Wodumo is now riding high on the popularity charts. A video of her playing at the club Views Twenty 5 in Durban has caused some people to raise their eyebrows.

The controversial diva can be heard singing in the video about her grief following the unexpected death of her husband, Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo. It is common knowledge that in the wake of Mampintsha’s burial, Babes has been extremely busy with gigs and bookings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A video of Babs singing a cringeworthy lyric about grief and drinking is going around on social media, and it can be seen and heard in the video. She sings, “Mina ngzilile, kodwa ngyay’phuzela,” while the crowd applauds her performance.

Tem N. Shongwe is the author “According to the song’s lyrics, the purpose of the song is most likely to encourage the listener to “milk this excitement now mama” so that she can return to the market while she is still trendy.

We public relations professionals will never go to paradise. She did not require these lyrics in order to revive her career as people were already going to assist her in her endeavor.”

The comment was made by Nthabiseng Bembe “She is trying to mask her suffering. I am speaking from personal experience here. The next thing I knew, I was unable to move, immobilized, and suffering from a sore back. because I did not permit myself to experience the anguish of having a parent pass away. I understand that people grieve in their own unique ways, and if she feels that doing this will help her recover, then she should feel free to do so.”

“It’s not a joking matter,” Siboniso TooNice Latha commented on the blog, “I hope people who are close to her are watching her situation attentively and finding the help that she needs.”

Pitso Matlala stated “I’ll say it again: putting up a brave face during a season of grieving has been responsible for the deaths of countless people.
