“I will never book Babes Wodumo again” – another loss for a Gqom star

Gqom star Babes Wodumo has infuriated an event organizer.

This after she was reserved to perform at Estradini Lifestyle in Estcourt, KZN, on Saturday, 28 January, but she noway pitched.

She was reserved to perform alongside hipsterism- hop artist Beast.

Event organizer Vukani Mbatha said they invite big artists every month to inspire the youth.

But they were dissatisfied when Babes failed to pitch.

He said they realized on the day of the event that Babes, whose real name is Bongekile Simelane, wasn’t coming.

“ Everything was fine before the event and they kept promising they were coming.

“ But late on Saturday, Babes, her director Nondumiso Simelane, as well as their road director, were no longer taking our calls.

“ We ultimately gave up and realized she was n’t coming, ” said Vukani.

According to an tab, which the publication has seen, Babes charged R18 000 and was paid in full.

The publication has also seen the evidence of payment.

Vukani said he anticipated an explanation from Babes or her director, but he noway got one.

“ She was the main act for the night and patrons looked forward to her performance, but she dissatisfied them.

“ She said Babes was mourning her uncle who had passed down, thus she could n’t attend our event.

“ She also promised to pay me on Monday, but the plutocrat did n’t come through.

“ I called Nondumiso again and this time around she swore at me, ” he said.

He said he has learned his assignment and will noway bespeak Babes again.

diurnal Sun reached out to Babes and Nondumiso, but they didn’t answer their phones.

Text dispatches were transferred but they didn’t respond.
