The fight between Babes Wodumo and her husband's family has reportedly reached it's peak as they no longer recognise her as their daughter-in-law. This comes after a video of Babes cussing and making worrisome allegations against her mother-in-law, Zama Gumede.
Two weeks ago, Babes Wodumo went on IG live to rant about Zama and called her all the bad names you can think of including b***h and w***e. In the viral videos, Babes said Zama of abandoned her son Mampintsha when he was only 3 days old.
"She mustn't f***k with me, I'll fetch her. She's drunk," she started off her video. "She said I must apologise, why should I apologise? This dog is drunk. She is saying I should apologise when she has never apologised to my family. This b***h," said Babes who then apologised for calling her mother-in-law these cuss words, but continued.
She then threatened to call the thugs she knows so she can teach her a lesson. Her team reached out to say it was a publicity stunt to get her EP Crown more numbers.
But her fans mized the EP because she still owed Makhadzi and apology.
Last week, Daily Sun reported that the family will be taking legal action against Babes Wodumo. Now, the family has spoken out about this unfortunate incident.
His sister Pinki Gumede told the publication that Babes is only Shimora's girlfriend and not wife, “As Mampintsha’s family we are rejecting Babes Wodumo. She’s not our makoti, but is Mampintsha’s girlfriend. We want people to know that she’s not Mampintsha’s legal wife.
The reason behind this is because they said the traditional ceremony called umembseo was not performed. They claim to have reached out to Babes several times but she would turn them down, saying she is religious and does not engage in cultural practices.
“Whenever we raise this issue with her, she tells us her religion doesn’t allow her to perform or observe Zulu tradition. This confused us because she knows that Mampintsha is a Zulu man who observes traditions. She has repeatedly proven that she doesn’t want to be part of this family. For this reason we’ll never put inyongo on her and we are rejecting her.”
Defending herself Babes said, “Due to the late release of the Crown EP, I had to draw your attention to the point where I give you a taste of part 2 of Sponge Wodumo's story. The one you'll saw just before Uthando Lodumo was shown on Showmax.
"I'm sorry to those who I might have offended. Due to the strong language I had no choice but to do it around that time to protect my younger fans,” read the statement.
Her followers came for her in the comments section and said:
"I am really disappointed in you shame, I really liked you."
"You really need help before it’s too late."
"It's pure jealousy, there's nothing more. She's just jealous at the fact that because of her arrogance she was so quick to brag that she's the hottest young artist. She used to utter such words even when she didn't win awards. Makhadzi has always remained humble, people have body shamed her, called her all sorts of horrible things. But still remained calm and that's why God is continuing to bless her. Babes with her arrogance will never achieved what that young woman has achieved. Babes will only achieve at swearing at people."
"At least you will never reach the level Makhadzi is at right now!!! She just keep on winning.
