Heartwarming interaction with a fan
On Tuesday, 21 October 2025, Babes took to Instagram to share a delightful video featuring herself and her fan inside a vehicle.
Either before or after a performance, the fan arrived emotional and in tears. Babes is heard reassuring her, urging her not to cry while providing comfort.
Babes revealed that the fan expressed such adoration that she wanted to kiss Babes’ feet as a testament to her love.
“Sometimes, my fans don’t know how much they heal me. It’s been such a journey, but having my fans still gives me so much love. I give all the glory to God, because the lord knows my heart. This moment here is special. She even asked to touch and kiss my feet, but I denied so many times, but she insisted,” she revealed.
The singer of “Elamont'” further acknowledged those who have streamed her recent album, Ekhoneni, as well as those who continuously defend her name.
“My fans are like family, I don’t hide anything. I keep it raw and real, and they love me just the way I am, and I appreciate that so much. This album is not for Mampintsha and me only. But for my fans as well, it’s a thank you to you all for letting me grieve as much as I needed without any judgment. Thank you for fighting my haters in my absence, for making others understand where I’m at and why. Always know, even when you doubt it, that I love you all so much and I really appreciate you. Don’t forget to pre-save the album on the link in my bio. Thank you for always making me realise I’m the queen that can never be shaken because I got you guys,” she concluded her message.
