Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha have made a spectacular return from their long hiatus to debut a brand new song about the COV-19. With all the social distancing and self quarantining going on, the lovebirds have given us new melody for the blues. As the confirmed number of infected South Africans continues to rise, sending waves of fear across the country, the famed music couple on Friday aimed for the charts with a single called ‘Corona’.
The song, which has surfaced on their Soundcloud account, is a lively rebuke of the deadly virus. It’s an upbeat offering, in which the two apply their collaborative formula to raise awareness about the viral spread, while also having obvious fun. While quite catchy, the new bop is yet to get an official release on the commercial streaming platforms.
This is the first single from the two in a while. The two retreated from public life after a series of incidents led to a public furore in 2018 and 2019. Since then, it has seemed Babes Wodumo’s once unstoppable career had taken a sad plunge into oblivion.
In early 2019, footage of Mampintsha, real name Mandla Maphumulo, assaulting Babes Wodumo, surfaced on Babes’ Instagram stories. Shared as a live Story, the footage led to national backlash, leading to Ukhozi FM removing all of Mampintsha’s music from rotation.
It wasn’t long before the two got back together, reenacting the violent scenes in a music video. Public outrage continued as footage of the Wololo hitmaker hitting the popular ‘vosho’ dance after her court appearance on assault charges surfaced online.
