Bonang Matheba left for New York City a few months ago without informing her fans on social media. So if she had to make a return, she might also keep it hush hush.
Last month, she mentioned that she will be home for Christmas so she could return in the next coming days. Unless she decides to spend her first Christmas at the Big Apple.
Bonang has always made her plans known and during an interview with Drum Magazine in 2019, she said she was planning to move to the USA after the Sun Met in 2020 but COVID-19 hit the world. “I’m moving to the US after the Sun Met next year and the plan is to get there to put the plans in motion.
“I have a hunger to be great and it is addictive,” she said. “I work hard, I make sacrifices because I want to be the best. If I had the opportunity to speak to the young Bonang who got into the industry very young, I would tell her to keep going.”
Bonang is making moves in silence, so much to the point that her fans and haters do not know what she is doing in NYC. Rea Gopane told Bonang to come back home because her plans to conquer New York failed dismally.
“Today I wish to share with you some disturbing news. So over the last few years I have been in a business relationship with a management group to represent my brand. I have put my trust in them and gave them stewardship over brand Bonang to build and support it across all mediums including entertainment, fashion, and entrepreneurship,” she said.
"Today I announce that I have terminated the contract with them and they no longer represent me, or any of my business ventures."
“Furthermore, I have instructed my lawyers to investigate the possibility of criminal conduct by the company and its representatives. I will revert over the next few days with more updates so that others can be aware of what I consider as their very unsavoury behaviour,” Bonang said before her space crashed.
Mocking the entrepreneur, Rea Gopane downplayed Bonang's business acumen and said she is not as smart as she makes people think she is.
"She has all that energy for me...can you imagine," Rea said on ESAM. "She has all that energy for me but her but her paperwork and business is not even right, but you wanna flex to your fans," he said. "Bonang is not as smart as she pretends to be. All she is good at is the fan base she has, that attacks people," he alleged.
"Do the real work of securing the bag," he said.
"You running away from the big boys, she fooled everybody, she was going to vineyard and taking pictures saying "girls with vineyards", Bonang does not own a f*** vineyard," he mocked.
On the possibility of losing House Of BNG, Read said, "That's the perfect situation for me."
He then told her to come back from NYC because her plans of creating a podcast failed dismally. Regarding the R500 000 lawsuit, Rea said Bonang will not get a cent from him - EVER.
Bonang got featured on A-Reece's album heaveN caN waiT: thE narroW dooR voL.1 which he worked with his brother Jay Jody. Bonang is featured on track number 9, titled ridiculouS and a clip from an old interview where she said, “Where? On Earth? No. Or in the world, or in the universe or … No I … No, not that I’m aware of,” was heard playing.
Fans got excited hearing Bonang being featured, and it also is the most successful on Spotify with people streaming it more than 208 779 times.
