"My introduction to Babes Wodumo came through a mutual friend who was also my client. Initially invited to do makeup for a friend, I unexpectedly found Babes Wodumo at the location.
"She personally requested my services, and after completing the job, she compensated me in cash. This marked the beginning of our professional relationship, as she continued to invite me to her Westville residence for makeup sessions, always settling the payment in cash."

Mhlongo also claimed that Babes owes her R1200 and has been giving her excuses after promising to pay her. Pearl also claimed that she is not doing this for fame but that she wants what is owed to her:

In response to the claims, Babes Wodumo's sister and manager, Nondumiso Simelane, said:

"Babes Wodumo is not in debt to the young lady; rather, it's the late Sthembile, the former PA, who owes her. Despite my efforts to engage with the young lady's mother and explain the situation, she has been creating social media turmoil, claiming communication with Babes dating back to 2021, of which we were unaware.
"When requesting evidence of these alleged conversations with any team member from that time, she fails to provide any proof. Instead, she demands R1,200, accompanied by threats and insults."
