Amapiano producer Kelvin Momo recently found himself on the receiving end of an unexpected cold shoulder from the crowd at a gig in Duduza. The incident, which has been making the rounds on social media, came shortly after his much-publicized break-up with vocalist Babalwa M, stirring up rumors and speculation. Adding to the buzz, a photo of Kelvin Momo cozying up with another woman went viral last week, leading many to assume that she was his new girlfriend.
At the Duduza gig, which the Amalobolo hitmaker streamed live on Facebook, the crowd’s reaction, or lack thereof, was noticeable. Instead of the usual excitement and engagement that Kelvin Momo’s performances draw, many attendees seemed disinterested, going about their activities and largely ignoring the set. The subdued reception sparked discussions online, with a Twitter user sharing the footage and commenting, “They did @kelvinMomo_ dirty over the weekend; is he no longer y’all goat Kanti?”
The chilly reception at the gig has left fans and followers wondering whether the recent drama surrounding Kelvin Momo’s personal life is affecting his popularity. The viral image of him with another woman created a storm on social media, prompting many to speculate about the state of his relationship with Babalwa M. The breakup itself had already drawn considerable attention, as the duo was a well-known pair in the Amapiano music scene, often collaborating and appearing together.
Some fans defended Kelvin Momo, suggesting that the audience’s reaction could be a one-off and not necessarily an indication of his overall popularity. However, others took the opportunity to criticize him, suggesting that his personal controversies might be overshadowing his music. Despite the cold response, the producer maintained his composure throughout the performance, continuing with his set as if unfazed by the audience’s apparent indifference.
