Babes Wodumo explains why she danced at Zama's funeral
When the video first made rounds, the Wololo singer was dragged for it. However, she had addressed her intentions during the funeral service, saying she danced for Zama because she is her mother-in-law.
"I was not doing this to show off or I wanted the media to paint me in a good light. This woman lying here is also my mother; she gave birth to my husband. So God has taught me the ministry of forgiveness, and I have done that," Babes said.
The two had not been seeing eye to eye, with Zama hurling harsh insults at Babes Wodumo. The singer retaliated against the many videos of Zama dragging her by also saying harsher words.

@Modipadi_W shared:
"Some things are best left alone for the peace of mind. She should’ve buried her mother-in-law without this drama, ai!!"

"Babes is a phara, guys. This is precisely who she is. She is in her element, living her best life. Not shocking at all."
