Well-known South African star Babes Wodumo is seeking to reclaim her former glory after a tumultuous period marked by scandal and the loss of her husband, Mampintsha.
The 30-year-old singer, whose real name is Bongekile Simelane, has reportedly turned to renowned music promoter Dogg DBN, whose real name is Lindo Buthelezi, for assistance in reviving her struggling career.
Dogg DBN, known for his massive collaborations with other South African musicians like Thukzin whom he helped to rise to prominence, is believed to be a trusted confidant for Babes in her difficult journey.
“Babes Wodumo realized she needed serious help. After the death of her husband, Mampintsha, she was left frustrated. Mampintsha was instrumental in launching her career and ensuring it thrived. His absence has led her to approach Dogg DBN for support,” a source explained.
Another source revealed that Babes, who, in addition to being a musician, is also a reality TV star, is not just sitting back for things to happen automatically.
“She is a strong woman. She detests pity, but pride alone is of little help. That’s why she sought assistance. She has faith in Dogg DBN, having previously worked with Mampintsha,” the source added.
When reached for comment, Babes Wodume, who is also a pastor’s daughter, chose to be a woman of few words.
“I’m alright, I’m fine,” she said, while refusing to confirm or deny if she is working with Dogg DBN for support.
Meanwhile, Dogg DBN has actively used social media to promote Babes’ upcoming performance, scheduled for 31 July in Durban, displaying willingness to help the former Gqom star if she requires his services.
“I’m available if she comes and asks for help,” he said.
Babes Wodumo’s rise in 2016 was a sensation, with her dynamism opening doors until the floodgates of scandals and the tragic death of her musician husband struck. Now, as she navigates the difficult path of rebuilding her career after the loss of her husband, Babes is seeking to reclaim her place in the music industry.
