The Gqom queen, Babes Wodumo, may need to reevaluate her live performance strategy, as audiences in Mzansi are voicing their disappointment! A recent video of her on stage has sparked criticism among fans across social media platforms.
“Yoh, Babes Wodumo Appears Worn Out”
The viral clip circulating on Twitter (X) depicts Babes delivering what many are calling a lackluster performance. While we must acknowledge the challenges she has faced following the passing of her husband, Mampintsha, Mzansi is left questioning her motivation to remain in the industry.

Here’s the latest buzz straight from Twitter:
@Ke_Arturo: “Babes really looks fatigued.”
@boyes_lydia: “It feels like Mampintsha used to energize her before she performed. Without him, there’s something off.”
@KMJ1_0: “This career seems done. She needs to make a shift before she embarrasses herself further.”
@TellUnknown: “Is she still interested? She appears bored and forced. If I were booking talent, I’d choose Makhadzi over Babes. Sorry, not sorry.”
Is It Grief or Professional Burnout?
Let’s face it—this is the same Babes Wodumo who had everyone dancing to Wololo in every venue from nightclubs to taxi ranks. But in this recent footage? Yoh, it seems like she was performing out of mere obligation.

There’s no denying she has encountered considerable struggles over the past year. Coping with Mampintsha’s loss, juggling her career, and adapting to life as a young widow is no small feat. Fans believe that Babes Wodumo might be torn between grieving and trying to keep her music career afloat.

However, let’s be candid. Babes Wodumo was once the life of the party, releasing hit after hit and ruling the stage. Now? The spark that once defined her seems to have dimmed, leaving fans wondering if she can regain her past greatness.

Babes, love, Mzansi has made its voice heard. It’s time to either rekindle that iconic energy that once captivated us, or take a moment to regroup and return with renewed strength. The stage demands passion, not half-hearted efforts. If not, it seems Makhadzi might be poised to claim the crown permanently.
Mzansi, what’s your take? Should Babes hang up her mic, or pull a Beyoncé and show us the real her? Share your thoughts in the comments!
