I have feelings too, says Babes after confrontat­ion at airport

- TimesLIVE

Just a few hours after a video of Babes Wodumo getting into an altercatio­n with a woman at an airport went viral – sparking a massive debate on how celebs should conduct themselves – the singer posted a message on Instagram talking about societies’ expectatio­n of celebritie­s.

Mzansi’s self-proclaimed Gqom Queen took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a video of the late Brenda Fassie.

In the video, Fassie explains that she will not be taken for a fool by aggressive people just because she is a celebrity and she “can’t” react violently.

“I can do anything I want to do‚ anytime‚ with anybody I want. That is nobody’s business. Because I am Brenda Fassie [does not] mean I can’t fight or say ‘voetsek’ if anybody says anything to me.”

Wodumo captioned the video with a brief, but clear message.

“We are all humans. Being a celeb doesn’t mean I’m an animal. I have feelings‚ emotions‚ a heart.” –
