Following a fan response to her preview of season three, episode one suggesting that fans should make a thing out of watching the show slumber party style, Matheba commended the idea and promised to follow through on it.

It was not long before fans were sharing their own plans to host similar events for the show, which led to Matheba putting up some kind of reward for fans who follow through.

The show first began in 2017 as a chronicle of the star’s life after years of begging from her fans after her hit YouTube series B*Dazzled.
Though she promised she would never continue with Being Bonang after season 1, the Kardashian bug seems to have bitten the star, whose show may get renewed for another season.
