WE ALL know the lyrics to the hit song Smile by Lil Duval, along with Snoop Dogg and others, in which he says “I’m living my best life”.

Well, one South African personality really is living her best life, enjoying summer in New York City.

While others in her age group wonder when they will get their Covid19 vaccine back in Mzansi, Bonang Matheba has been vaccinated and is enjoying time out and about in New York City.

The media personality, who relocated to the Big Apple last month, has updated her followers on social media since landing in the USA. From receiving her Covid-19 vaccine to giving her fans a little tour of her flat in the Upper East Side and more recently, attending a picnic in Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn.

Last month, when asked by a Twitter user where she was, Bonang said: “I’ve relocated… go to my stories”.

The star will be based in both the US and SA.

When Queen B flew to New York City she did not initially let fans in on why she was there, but later posted a video on her Instagram stories of getting a Covid-19 vaccination.

In a video, a nurse administrating the vaccine pulls down Bonang’s sleeve, swabs her arm and says: “That’s good, relax that arm … all right here we go, one small step for mankind”, before injecting Bonang with the Covid-19 vaccine.

Last month the former Afternoon Express presenter sued a local podcaster, Rea Gopane, for R500 000 after a video of him went viral, following his comments on the death of Anele “Nellie” Tembe, her ex-boyfriend rapper AKA’S fiancée, in April.

In the video, Rea and his co-host discussed the circumstances of Tembe’s death and how, at her funeral, her father, Durban businessman Moses Tembe, alluded to his daughter possibly having a problem with substance abuse.

“We know AKA, let’s not hide from the truth.

“Scoop (TV presenter Scoop Makhathini) told us that AKA is on cocaine and Bonang is the one that got him on to cocaine.

“Scoop told us that, so we know that AKA is into hard drugs,” Rea said.
