‘Guys is Babes Wodumo okay?’ – fans out of concern over star’s tiny frame 

A number of mothers defended Babes Wodumo stating that they also experienced similar weight loss after they had their own children. 


A recent photo of Babes Wodumo posing with fellow artist Dladla Mshuniqisi and an unidentified man has caused fans to worry about the reality star and Gqom musician as she appears to have lost a significant amount of weight.

Yaphela ingane sibuka,” [she’s deteriorating right in front of our eyes] tweeted @FinestZungu_ along with some crying emojis and the picture that got everyone talking.

A number of mothers came to her defence stating that they also experienced a similar weight loss after they had their own children. 

“Can we please leave Babes Wodumo alone nkos’yam. This is tiring now. You guys are always talking about her weight loss and honestly it’s not okay. Babes doesn’t even have social media anymore, she’s literally not bugging anybody, she’s just at home minding her business,” responded @Amala_Graham.

“One thing about giving birth, it changes your body whether you like it or not. It’s unrealistic to expect someone to be the same but most of all, it’s none of our business,” added @mizzzidc. 

Last June, Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha welcomed their first child, a baby they affectionately refer to as ‘Sponge’.

Babes Wodumo becomes a recluse

After making headlines for all the wrong reasons with her frequent social media outbursts, Babes Wodumo seems to be spending more time offline these days. 

Her Instagram feed was last updated in April.

In season one of Uthando Lodumo, we saw the controversial couple concluding their lobola negotiations, celebrating their star-studded wedding and anticipating the birth of their first child.
