Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha’s social media outburst after she left the just concluded SAMAs without winning an award generated two categories of reactions on social media and the entertainment industry. Some shared Babes view that she ought to have won a SAMA because her song was well received and popular in the year under review, but others felt she ought to be content with the 4 nominations she got because she hasn’t paid her dues in industry and thus shouldn’t have an entitlement mentality, thinking she deserves a SAMA
