Bonang Matheba's YouTube reality show brings in big numbers
Queen B is b'dazzled and her fans can't get enough of her sparkle!
Everything South Africa's media darling touches turns to gold, or in this case, thousands of views. Bonang Matheba is celebrating news that episode two of her YouTube reality show, 'B*Dazzled', hit 100,000 views in just one day.
The episode dropped on Tuesday, May 23. It's currently sitting on 161,987 views.
The latest episode gives her fans a behind-the-scenes look at her collaboration with Steve Madden. The campaign, which was announced in November 2022, is the popular footwear company's first-ever African collaboration.
Queen B flew to 5th Avenue in New York for some of her meetings with the company and brought cameras along to capture every moment.
"We are in my favourite city in the whole wide world- New York City. I love, love, love, love this place. I think anyone that knows me knows that I am a big Manhattan girl. I am the happiest when I am in NYC. The Big Apple gives me everything I need - the lights, stimulation, fashion, celebrities, money, people. I just really enjoy coming here," she says in the opening scene of the episode.

During her stay, the 35-year-old was spotted at New York Fashion Week and the MTV Video Music Awards. She was also spotted hanging out with stars such as Australian model Duckie Thot.
