A leaked conversation between Mihlali Ndamase and a budding skincare content creator has ignited a fierce debate on social media.

Months after the famous YouTuber was accused of bleaching her skin, a woman famous for promoting Korean skincare products publicised their private messages on her TikTok page on 17 February 2026, seemingly showcasing her growing influence.

The creator, real name Botle Senokoane, shared a screenshot of her message from Mihlali's Instagram page, revealing that the award-winning influencer had reached out to her and complimented her skin in the process.

Part of her message read: "Hi there, I hope this finds you well. I see you sell skincare products, and you have absolutely gorgeous skin."

She captioned the screenshot, "Let's pack an order for Mihlali Ndamase," which suggested that the celebrity influencer had not just inquired about products, but had officially become a paying customer.

Senokoane is a budding beauty content creator with a growing following on social media. She shares beauty, self-care and skin-care advice, which includes tips to achieve lighter and glowier skin, lose weight and care for wigs. She also offers advice on how to incorporate Korean products into your skincare routine.

By moving the conversation from the DMs to the timeline, the creator seemingly used Ndamase’s star power to validate her brand's impact. However, this backfired as social media users accused her of violating her client's right to privacy.

The controversy was heightened by speculation surrounding Mihlali's apparent fairer complexion, with her enquiry serving as unofficial confirmation that she may be using skin-lightening products.
