Just when you thought the ongoing saga involving Mampintsha and Babes Wodumo couldn’t get any stranger, the record boss has announced he’s looking for children to play himself and the singer. Yes, really. In a report on TimesLive, Mampintsha revealed that West Ink Records is looking for kids between the ages of 6 and 9 to play him and Babes in an upcoming music video shoot. You couldn’t make it up. The record boss told Instagram this week that his label didn’t want to use a casting agency to find actors for the video.
