Fans of the late Zahara are warning industry peers to check on “troubled” celebrities like artists Babes Wodumo, Zola 7, and Emtee. This, after numerous stars shared their regrets on not lending a helping hand to the singer while she was still alive.
Earlier this week, the entertainer – real name Bulelwa Mkutukana – died after a long battle with liver complications. She was just 36 years old. Despite being a talented, award-winning singer, Zahara’s life in the spotlight was marred with bad press.
The star made headlines for her battle with former record label TS Records over alleged unpaid royalties and record sales. She also admitted to having an alcoholism addiction, which impacted her health. Last year, the singer appealed to her peers for financial assistance after defaulting on her home repayment.If that wasn’t enough, social media users poked fun at her fashion sense, love life, and even physical appearance.
Now attention has been turned on fellow singer Babes Wodumo, whose antics many believe is a “cry for help.” Following the death of her husband, Mampintsha, the Gqom singer has been in the spotlight for several controversies, including threatening to expose his alleged mistresses, accusing his family of allegedly bewitching her and her extreme weight loss.

Check on her wellbeing, guide her with compassion, &stand united with her as source of strength💕 #SupportForBabesWodumo pic.twitter.com/p0LyILAP3r
