Babes Wodumo has had a successful music career and has achieved significant milestones in her career but evidently, her career was tainted by the controversy in her personal life.
Babes Wodumo got her breakthrough in 2016 after being signed by West Ink Records and releasing her debut album Gqom Queen.
Following the passing of her husband Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo who died at Durdoc Hospital in Durban, after suffering a minor stroke- Babes is picking herself up, and she is ready to get back to the game full-on.
Babes Wodumo has not taken a break to mourn the death of her husband, sis has been booked and busy securing the bag and entertaining her fans. The singer is currently cooking up a storm in the studio as she is working on her upcoming studio album.
TNS took to Facebook, revealing that he was in the studio with Babes who is working on her upcoming album.
“In Studio w/ IDandokazi Babes Wodumo recording Her 2023 Album,” he wrote
TNS's post has caused excitement online and fans are already anticipating the release of the album.
Kevin Makhosi commented "Can't wait to hear what she's cooking, I trust her"
Philani Mtolo II wrote "With your vocal coaching and assistant on her album I believe it’s gonna be a good album"
Gasa Thapelo "Do you remember uMampintsha ekusolla ngokuthii ufuna uBabes uthii akathii laphekhona"
At Mampintsha's memorial service, DJ Tira advised Babes Wodumo to get on top of the game again and reclaim her top spot.
“Babes must go back to the top of the charts. When she joined the music industry she was charging R100,000 per gig. You [Babes] should not be comfortable [with earning less] and you need to get out of your comfort zone if you want to go back to the top. You need to work hard and have a focus. Also, we still have Sponge [Babes’ child] to raise because Mampintsha is no longer," said Tira.
Babes then begged Tira and Danger to never abandoned her. "Thank you, Tira for loving my husband and Danger thank you. Tira please do not abandon me and you Danger," she said while speaking at Mampintsha's funeral service.
At Mampintsha's mom's funeral service, Babes vowed to take care of Mampinstha's family.
“Today I want to assure you that you will never go hungry when I’m still around. I will be your pillar of strength, you have a sister in me. If you need anything please call me and if you cannot get hold of me do not hesitate to come to my house at Westville. I am prepared to pay for a metered taxi,” said Babes at the podium.
