After her husband, Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo, died, Babes begged her husband’s friends not to abandon her. She said she needed them the most, and DJ Tira promised to help her get back on her singing career. The Afrotainment owner said Babes required to be back at the top.
At Mampintsha’s memorial service, DJ Tira said:
“Babes must go back to the top of the charts. When she joined the music industry, she was charging R100,000 per gig. You [Babes] should not be comfortable and need to get out of your comfort zone if you want to return to the top. You need to work hard and have focus. Also, we still have Sponge to raise because Mampintsha is no longer with us. We, as his friends, will do anything for him,”

It looks like Tira kept his promise, and Babes Wodumo is back in the studio cooking new music. Mzansi can’t wait for Babes to release her album; however, they are also worried about her since she used to say that Mampintsha was the only person who understood the type of Gqom music she produced.
“Mampintsha is the only one who understands me and the type of gqom I make. Mampintsha understands me, and that’s why we make great music together; we can communicate properly”.
“Also, many artists don’t understand gqom, so I don’t want a situation where I feature people that will make my songs lame or drain my vibe. However, I do most of the singing on the songs, and I also feature on songs from his album,”
