Jelly Babie then went back to the retailer to apologise to Martha, the cashier and the whole Big Save workers.

SwisherPost reveals that Jelly Babie is scheduled to host her one-woman show at Bundu Inn in May 2024.

WHO IS JELLY BABIE?

Jelly Babie, real name Karabo Khakhu is a TikTok influencer and Bacardi dancer and singer.

The Pretoria-based dancer became popular after Bacardi King, Itumeleng “Vusi Ma R5″ Mosoeu’s death in January 2023.

Khakhu confirmed in an interview on Culture Spotlight that she got her big break in the music industry through Mosoeu.

TshisaLIVE reported in November 2023 that Mosoeu’s passing caused a lot of attention to be focused on her at school. She also reveals in the interview that teachers used to comment on her going to gigs so she decided to leave school.

“Honestly speaking I left school after Vusi R5’s funeral. When I got to school people kept telling me how sorry they were, asking me about R5 and I couldn’t concentrate at school. The teachers would call me into the staff room asking me about R5, how I’m healing … even the treatment I was getting,” she said.

She also says she’d never been absent from school before quitting because Vusi Ma R5 made sure she attended all her classes.

She’s reportedly collaborated with artists such as Pabi Cooper and DJ Uncle Waffles and revealed at the time that she was going back to school in January 2024 through homeschooling instead.
