Babes Wodumo Faces Backlash for Lackluster Performance: “The Spark is Missing, Shem”

Babes Wodumo, the queen of Gqom, might need to reconsider her strategy for live performances as Mzansi has voiced their dissatisfaction! A recent video of her on stage has fans shaking their heads and critiquing her on social media.

“Yoh, Babes Wodumo Appears Worn Out”

The video, which circulated on Twitter (X), features Babes delivering what can only be described as a flat performance. While it’s important to acknowledge her struggles following the passing of her husband, Mampintsha, many in Mzansi are left questioning her commitment to continue in the industry.

Here’s the latest buzz from Twitter:

@Ke_Arturo: “Babes looks genuinely exhausted.”

@boyes_lydia: “I think Mampintsha used to energize her before performing. Without him, something feels off.”

@KMJ1_0: “This seems like a dead end for her career. She needs to pivot before things get worse.”

@TellUnknown: “Is she even interested anymore? She comes off as bored and looks forced. If I were booking someone, I’d go with Makhadzi instead of Babes. Sorry, not sorry.”

Is It Grief or Career Fatigue?

Let’s be honest—this is the same Babes Wodumo who had everyone doing the Wololo from clubs to taxi ranks. But in this latest clip? Yoh, it feels like she was just fulfilling an obligation.

She has undeniably faced considerable difficulties over the past year. Coping with the loss of Mampintsha, managing her career, and navigating life as a young widow is no small feat. Fans feel that the Gqom queen may be grappling with a mix of grief and the pressure to maintain her music career.

Babes, dear, Mzansi has made its voice heard. You either need to reignite that legendary energy that first captivated us, or take a step back to gather your strength and then return stronger. The stage is certainly not the place for lackluster performances. If not, it appears Makhadzi is ready to take the crown permanently.

Mzansi, what are your thoughts? Should Babes hang up her mic, or make a comeback like Beyoncé and remind us of her true self? Share your thoughts in the comments!
