Media personality Bonang Matheba's YouTube channel B*dazzled debuted on Monday, and fans couldn't get enough of the Queen after a young hiatus from reality TV.

On her Twitter timeline Bonang replied to her B-Force, who were thrilled with the debut, and thanked them for watching. 

She explained why she got involved with the luxury shoe brand. 

“During my travels in New York City, Manchester and London, I remember thinking I want something that personifies my big bubbly personality. So whether its big fabrics or sequins or a very big platform like this one I'm wearing, I always wanted it to be bigger and larger than life, but also shoes that make you feel like you are stepping on a red carpet, like you an actual mega superstar ” she said on the episode. 

In a statement shared with TshisaLIVE, Bonang said the venture was a dream she had been working towards before the pandemic. 

“I was looking for styles that would be great to holiday in, celebrate in, dance the night away in or even the perfect gift to spoil someone special over the festive season,” she said.

When launching her own luxury beverage brand called House Of BNGBonang said she studied American rapper and businessman JayZ's moves.

“After studying him, I tried to very much mimic [Jay Z's] business decisions. He's definitely someone I look up to and love. Business is ruthless, it's tough, it's 24 hours of the day. To make something great you need to actually put in the work. I live, breathe and eat House of BNG. I'm  the head of every single thing and decide where the brand goes,” she told TshisaLIVE
