UPDATE: 15 AUG 2019 – 10:30

Babes Wodumo has distanced herself from a tweet in which she firmly stood by the shots she allegedly took at Lady Zamar.

A tweet went out on the feisty Durban singer’s Twitter account on Thursday, in which she not only stood by  her words, but also tossed obscenities at her detractors. “I said what I said”, the tweet read. “I don’t care if you guys hate me or not I’m proud.”  (sic)

Her Twitter account went on to retweet a tweet endorsing the teasing of Lady Zamar’s acne.

Not all is what is seems, apparently. The Wololo hitmaker has since taken to Instagram to blame the tweets on a hack. In a video she shared on Thursday morning, Babes denies having any knowledge of the tweets, saying she’s just shocked as everyone else. She also said she’s working hard to resolve the mess.

A video allegedly depicting Babes Wodumo tossing insults at Lady Zamar has surfaced. The 25 year old Durban singer can be heard calling the Monarch hitmaker ‘S’f***”, which translates to ‘whore’.

Babes sounds disgusted by Lady Zamar’s acne, and apparently livid that she cracked a few laughs during a guest appearance in a recent ‘wooden mic’ segment of Idols SA. 

An unidentified voice echoes the epithets, daring Lady Zamar to remove her make-up.

Lady Zamar faced much teasing when a tight zoom of her face during the Idols SA appearance became a fixation for resident social media trolls. The singer, who’s been open about her battles with the condition, has been keeping a positive outlook amid the cyber bullying.

Instead, Lady Zamar has been focusing on the promotion of her critically lauded album, Monarch. One can only wonder if Babes has heard the song Fat Gal, the body positive anthem appearing on the new project.

ALBUM REVIEW: LADY ZAMAR’S MONARCH ARRIVES 

Following Babes’ taunts, a slew of famous personalities personalities, such as ThickLeeyonce and MoFlava in Lady Zamar’s defence.  “Babes Wodumo making fun of Lady Zamar’s acne is such a cringe fest”, Thickleeyonce.

Babes Wodumo making fun of Lady Zamar’s acne is such a cringe fest. She’s a mean girl & it’s disgusting. I’m appalled. Lady Zamar is so unproblematic. That video is so unnecessary. Ugh

@Lady_Zamar is a hit machine. Her albums sell more than most in her space. She’s got more hits than many. So what if she has a few pimples on her face. She’s actually been pretty open about it. Her music speaks for her,not her face. Ok I’m done

DJ Fresh’s controversial booting from Metro FM has ended in a fresh start.

After much speculation about what the Big Dawg’s next move would be following his highly publicised departure from his popular breakfast slot on the SABC station breakfast slot, 947 on Tuesday announced that Fresh would be hosting their afternoon drive.

The show, tentatively called Fresh On 947, will debut live on air Thursday, August 1st. The afternoon drive will be on between 15:00 and 19:00.

Elated fans expressed their delight with the veteran radio presenter’s return to the airwaves as soon as the news broke.

Fresh’s sudden sacking by Metro FM was met with much backlash, as the breakfast continued to trend for the wrong reasons. For weeks, his listeners protested his absence on his slot.

The silence only recently came to an end when the SABC confirmed that his contract had been ended effective immediately.

And it was all down to because the two parties had reached an “impossible impasse”, as Fresh termed the breakdown in communication, after he allegedly used foul language’ on air.
