Tweleb @ChrisExcel102 weighed in, saying:
"If we are honest. Bonang's career no longer has a juice. Girl used to trend nje by just posting her picture. now it's MacG who trends every day by just breathing. She knows the boy won't be able to pay. But now she is using this situation to stay relevant. Business-wise she's doing very well. But in entertainment, she's no longer the IT GIRL like she use to be."
The man himself @reagopane said:
"Y’all don’t even realize Bonang is just using your sheep behaviour to stay relevant in the eyes of the public. She’s great at it no lie but what surprises is how people just keep falling for it."
