WATCH: Bonang says she retracted book to ‘fix things people thought were wrong’

Speaking on her TV show, Being Bonang, the star also said she asked the publisher to bring out a new edition so she could 'keep people quiet'.


Bonang has finally given her side of the story on why her book was retracted by Blackbird publishers and customers offered a refund by Exclusive Books.

On her reality show, which airs on Vuzu Amp, she told viewers she had instructed the publishers to republish her book because of “what people thought was wrong with it”.

Bonang doesn’t acknowledge that there were serious factual errors such as her birth date and grammatical errors in her memoir, From A to B.

Readers on Twitter had pointed out the mistakes.

“So there was drama surrounding my book, so I said, you know what, in order to keep these people quiet, let’s take this book back, reprint it and fix the things they thought were wrong with the book and re-release it.

“It’s going to be a brand-new edition coming out at the end of this particular week. My book tour starts again and I think it’s so awesome that my fans have been supportive. I’m so excited. I think there is a reason why everything happens. Now the book is even better,” she said.
