Gqom star Babes Wodumo seems to have moved on after Mampintsha’s d3ath, and she seemingly showed off her new boyfriend.
Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha had one of the most tumultuous celebrity unions in South Africa. They first met in 2012 when Mampintsha signed Babes Wodumo to his record label, West Ink Records.
They started dating in 2016 and faced several controversies, including allegations of domestic v!ol3nce and drug @b_se. Mampintsha proposed to Babes Wodumo in October 2020, and they announced their engagement on social media. They had a lavish traditional wedding ceremony in KwaZulu-Natal, attended by many celebrities and fans in 2021. The couple had their first child, Sponge, the same year.
However, their happiness was short-lived as Mampintsha suffered a stroke in December 2022 and d!ed a week later in hospital. Babes Wodumo was devastated by his d3ath and revealed that she slept on his chest for two hours before he went to the mortuary. He was buried in his hometown of Umlazi on 31 December 2022.
Babes has taken time to mourn his lover, and her cries have moved South Africans online. On Valentine’s Day, she went to cry at his grave, and people wept with her.
However, it now seems Babes Wodumo has found a shoulder to mourn and cry on. She seemingly hinted that she now has a new man, almost a year after Mampintsha d!ed.
In a picture causing a rave on X, Babes was sleeping on a man’s bare chest. She only showed her face and cropped out the new bae out of the frame. Her hand rested comfortably on the right side of his chest, and she looked peaceful.
