Babes Wodumo will not be at Sunday’s MTV Europe Music Awards 2017 despite her public promise last month that she would.
Channel24 can confirm that the 23-year-old Durbanite, whose real name is Bongekile Simelane, will be a MTV Europe Music Awards 2017 no-show where she has been nominated in the Best Africa act category.
This comes after Babes in mid-October promised that "I will definitely be attending the MTV awards. I have sorted out the visa. I am going".
This is the latest news in a string of "fake news" from the upcoming singer that has damaged her industry reputation with a series of bizarre mistakes and publicity decisions.
Last month Babes revealed that she will have a reality show on Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) starting in November, something that M-Net's Mzansi Magic channel immediately denied.
Babes was supposed to apply for an American visa in person to attend the BET Awards in America in June, but did interviews and attended parties, like the send-off party from the eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede, using taxpayers’ money. Babes ended up unable to go.
Recently Babes implored the South African public to help her search for her missing USB, that according to her, carried the link to a new song of hers.
The 24th edition of the MTV Europe Music Awards 2017 will take place in London on Sunday and will be broadcast on MTV (DStv 130).
Besides Babes, artists like Nyashinski (Kenya), Nasty C (South Africa), Wizkid (Nigeria), Davido (Nigeria) and C4 Pedro (Angola) have been nominated for the 2017 MTV EMAs in the Best Africa category.
Babes took to Instagram on Saturday to wish all the nominees good luck for the awards show on Sunday.
