Babes Wodumo’s most hilarious moments of 2019
It’s safe to say 2019 has seen Babes Wodumo fall from grace – at least when it comes to her personal life She’s been hit by scandal after scandal and her name has been dragged through the mud over her doings throughout the year. And it doesn’t look like she’s done just yet!
Take a look at Babes’ most bizarre moments of 2019…
Exposing Mampintsha for abuse – and then dropping the charge
Nobody can forget the video Babes uploaded to social media of angry Mampintsha hurling insults at her and slapping her.
It’s a moment we’d all like to forget. Unfortunately, Mampintsha never faced the consequences of his actions… well, because Babes withdrew charges of assault against him.
Guys somebody needs to check on Babes Wodumo and make sure she is safe! Cause after Mampintsha finds out she was recording the abuse might get worse. Hopefully she manages to leave before he finds out. #StopWomenAbuse pic.twitter.com/Y1h8un6ZzX

Assaulting another woman
Babes, alongside her sister and muso Tipcee, were accused of beating up an unknown Durban woman.
To add insult to injury, Babes was pictured doing the Vosho outside the court and posing for pics which she uploaded to her social media account.
Durban Magistrate’s Court has issued a warrant of arrest for Babes Wodumo, Tipcee and Babes’ sister-cum-manager, Nondumiso Simelane after they failed to appear before the court on assault charges of a Durban woman. The three are accused of assaulting a woman in Umbilo last month. pic.twitter.com/H0OOXICp6h

That awkward hot tub video
It wasn’t long after, that Babes rekindled her romance with her manager, Mampintsha.
The pair proclaimed their love for one another in a very cringy video posted to social media of themselves in a hot tub.
Bonnie & Clyde tour backlash
Talk about a PR stunt gone wrong! Babes & Mampintsha were dragged to hell and back for a poster – a visual that bared resemblance to the murder of Reeva Steenkamp – for their nation-wide tour.
Worst still, fans vowed to boycott the tour altogether!
Not sensitive if you ask me. For a women who cried abuse you may not realise that this spits on the grave of #ReevaSteenkamp with this whole toilet scene and guns. Its more Oscar & Reeva than Bonnie & Clyde. Anifunda Tuuuu pic.twitter.com/lz5tgGPBNq

The mysterious case of her hacked Twitter account
From sharing her phone number with fans, to throwing shade at fellow celebs, to posting racist and xenophobic tweets, Babes’ Twitter account has seen it all!
Funny enough, the hacker vowed to return the account to Babes – something we’re not sure has even happened!
Denying bullying Lady Zamar
Babes did the most to convince us that she DID NOT cyber bully Lady Zamar.
But the truth always comes to light and after months of denial, the gqom singer finally admitted it was true!.

Teasing a pregnancy
Babes was thriving in the spotlight of all the bad press and used the media to tease a ‘special announcement’. Many thought it was a pregnancy announcement, given that Babes was pictured wearing loose clothing at the time.
It turns out, it was just over a new song!
So… BIG NEWS! I have a big announcement to make at … 10am guys 🙈🥰💋👸🎇 pic.twitter.com/qn8Nkz6lkH

Not paying a cab driver!
Babes may be rolling in the Mandelas, but she obviously didn’t have enough (or didn’t want) to pay a cab driver.
A few years ago, Babes was accused of owing a salon thousands of Rands after borrowing a couple of colourful wigs! Humm…
Ed Sheeran cover
Babes & Mampintsha took a major L when they claimed the song they lip-synced for was one of Stevie Wonder’s when it actually belonged to Ed Sheeran!
Epic fail!
When you and your bae are uneducated and inlove :

Viral pic
Nothing was more bizarre than a pic circulating of a rather ratchet looking Babes Wodumo, which reveals her drastic weight loss and unkempt appearance.
A few days after the pic went viral, Babes tweeted; “Pray for me”.

Does Babes need to end 2019 with an intervention?
In other news – Cassper Nyovest reveals why 2019 was a bad year for SA Hip Hop
Mzansi Hip Hop did not have a particularly great year in 2019. Musically it’s said to be one of the worst years for the genre. Stogie T recently said “2019 Has Been A Weak Year For SA Hip Hop“
Cassper, on the other hand, believes the music wasn’t bad after a fan recently asked whether the poor ran in 2019 was because big artists did not drop albums. Contrary to what Stogie T believes, Mufasa credited the poor run to bad energy in the hip hop community. continue reading
