After listening to the song in which the Wololo hitmaker sings about taking over an individual's senses, COSAS released a statement on Monday afternoon.
“We are challenging Babes Wodumo to come out boldly to denounce and condemn drug abuse, underage drinking and unlawful fun. We acknowledge the amount of influence she currently has on young people and we call on her to do the right thing and also contribute in fighting this pandemic,”.
“The title of the song is the same name of the popular drug in Durban and surrounding townships currently. It is a new kind of ecstasy which is popularly know as the “killer drug”, which killed and hospitalised many learners in KwaMashu and other areas earlier this year,” reads the statement.
“The student’s movement is calling on the musician to take responsibility for the negative effects this already loved song may have on young delinquents who are generally still trying to find themselves and are still going through an adolescence stage.
However, speaking to TMG entertainment on Tuesday, Babes’ camp slammed the accusations. According to Babes manager Victor Dlokolo, the songs name refers to Babes dream car and not the drug.
“There is not a single lyric about alcohol and drugs in her single Mercedes. A Mercedes Benz is Babes’ dream car which she wants to buy for her father and this is what she refers to in the song,” explained Victor.
“People love to celebrate and pay attention to negativity, and give it hype. Babes is just sitting on top of her dream car singing her song, but now people are saying she is promoting drugs,” he added.
