A Twitter user, @Zesipho_M, shared a tweet regarding the partnership between Kefilwe and Yardley Perfumes, initiating a heated debate between netizens.
She posted a snippet of the ad and a picture of the perfume and captioned it:
"KefiBoo x Yardley Perfumes. Great way to bring talkability & premium feel to the brand. But do consumers really believe that Kefi Boo actually voluntarily wears this perfume rather than a luxury brand?"

Shortly after the Twitter user posted the tweet, social media users went on and dished out their own opinions regarding the collaboration. See the comments below:
@SlayingGoliath responded:
"The assumption might not be that she uses Yardley, I think she’s endorsing it and will use it going forward."
@Busimanunga wrote:
"She didn’t style herself. It looks forced - glitter earrings, sequin dress, platform shoes next to the pool. A beautiful lifestyle video of her getting out of the shower, spritzing on some scent before putting on one of those Diane Paris dresses she loves would’ve done the trick."
@ThandoLoveVee said:
"It’s tenuous. She’s got reach, but I think other influencers consume luxury but have also organically promoted mass brands. Kay Yarms comes to mind. That would have felt more authentic. I don’t recall seeing Kefi using a mass product- I could be wrong."
@Webdesigngirlie wrote:
"I think there is someone who could have been a better fit. There is a disconnect, considering she is a luxury influencer."
@Like_confettii said:
"We don’t. Therefore it doesn’t hit. Well for me at least. Maybe she wears it to gym..or to bed."
@Pinkdoll_love wrote:
"Did they offer her a lot of money? Cause this is not the brand she uses. Total misalignment."
@mMosatekay said:
"So disappointing yet again that brands can’t align with their target audience. There’s no authenticity here, and it’s just ridiculous now."
@FefeLehobye responded:
"I don't see her using this brand shem. The problem with brands these days is using an influencer/public figure with a high number of followers. I'd love to see the conversion rate and if it translated to sales."
Though netizens don't agree to this collaboration, this has to be her most paying gig since her break up with her former accused tycoon lover Edwin Sodi.
