Bongelike Simelane popularly known as Babes Wodumo is trending on the internet, again! However this time around it’s not for a good reason.
The Wololo hit maker had managed to land herself a 2017 BET Best International Act: Africa nomination set to take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, on Sunday 25th of June. With the hope to bag the coveted accolade praise the Gqom Queen fell victim to late submission of travel documents and were waaaay past the due date for visa application after reports came to light suggesting that her management team aka Mampintsha only tried to approach the American Embassy in Durban this past Tuesday.
Twitter has no chill, everybody knows that and fans are poking Mampintsha, blaming him for this clearly avoidable mishap. Was Mampintsha too busy to focus on applying for Babes’s Visa? Was he busy taking #Ninomona videos of himself? Or maybe this could be an honest mistake. Is a cloud of bad luck looming over Babes Wodumo? Tonsidering her empty awards bag episodes, the West Ink Records team is facing this year but the jury has already made it’s mind.
A visit to LA should have been a priority call to change that luck. But who knows, maybe she might win the award from the comfort of home watching the ceremony on her TV while sipping a hot cup of coffee!
Suggestions from fans are pouring in from all angles to suggest a management replacement. The majority saying that Babes Wodumo should try changing her management team and maybe pitch her tent in the Mabala Noise offices for a change. She also might just need to have a word with the ancestors. Surely one cannot fall from not winning awards to totally not managing to attend them!
Below are some tweets that caught our eye!
So Babes Wodumo couldn’t make it to the BET Awards in LA. But there was send off party held in her honour in Durban last week.

I’m embarrassed to say #babesWodumo is a prime example why you shouldn’t mix love with business. The situation should have never gotten here
