Gqom sensation Babes Wodumo has found herself at the center of a social media firestorm after sharing a provocative photo on her Instagram account, igniting a heated debate among her followers.
In the now-viral post, Wodumo can be seen energetically performing on stage in her signature skimpy denim shorts, with the image capturing a moment where she nearly exposes her intimate areas.
The photo, accompanied by a caption innocently inquiring about followers’ favorite dishes, took a cheeky turn with Wodumo’s playful addition:
“What’s your favourite dish? Tupperware!!!????????????????Sbwl!!!”
The image quickly drew both praise and criticism from her fan base. While some applauded her for her boldness and artistic expression, others condemned what they perceived as inappropriate behavior, particularly noting Wodumo’s role as a mother and widow.
Among the reactions, user mongiephetshula commented, “You’re a mother and a widow. I’m definitely judging you,” reflecting a sentiment echoed by others who expressed disappointment.
