Babes Wodumo on why she consumes alcohol

Wololo hitmaker Babes Wodumo had an in-depth conversation with her pastor on her reality TV show, Wena Wodumo. Her pastor asked her about her alcohol consumption, to which Babes did not hesitate to respond, saying she does indeed drink.

"I won't lie, I do drink a lot. But I have changed, I only drink alcohol at my home. I no longer go to clubs, but I drink at home," she said.

Babes Wodumo seemingly shared that alcohol helps her mask the pain she feels at that time, alluding to the fact that it helps numb her pain. The singer became widowed in 2022, after her husband, Mampintsha, passed away.

"After drinking, I normally cry and think about a lot of things. That is my way of healing. No one can tell me how to heal," she added.

The singer, who was raised in a church-focused home, said her pastor needed to understand that she can balance the two: Drinking alcohol and praising God.

"I often experience challenges that need me to drink alcohol. So, my pastor has to understand that as much as I love God and praise him, there are times when I need to drink," she added.
