We’ve passed a decade but couldn’t just forget the last ten year without remembering that there’s someone who put Bonang Matheba in her place and reminded everyone that she’s actually an abusive and manipulative liar.
Hmmmm, who can possibly have the guts to tell Queen B in her face that she’s a liar? It’s none other than the entertainment commentator himself Phil Mphela. It all started in 2018 when the Sunday World tabloid published a story on Bonang and her tax fraud case. She then threatened for a lawsuit worth R10 million against the publication…. which turns out it was just mere threat.

But that’s a story for another day. Phil, however, weighed in the matter and said it wasn’t wise for her to fight against journalists. But the alleged owner of BNG told him to fuck off.
My thoughts: Moghel should have just let this go. It’s tabloid and responding or suing only gives the story traction.
Furthermore, I dont think it is wise for her to be waging a war with journos. Her influence is waning & she needs positive coverage to remain at the top.

Bonang responded with “Go f*** yourself! Honestly.” But little did she realise that she had stepped on the wrong toes it turned to be a huge twar. They started exchanging words, that’s when Phil called her a liar and abuser. He further went on to threaten to expose some secret files on her. He reminded her that they were in Sun City together and he saw her doing some sh*t which she wouldn’t be proud to tell the world. That’s how Bonang ran off and never answered, the commentator also didn’t reveal her dark secrets to fans even though they literally begged him to.
You lie. You abuse people and come here and spin some BS nonsense. Never commented on you personally, EVER. But I think now you think you can just walk all over me. Let it slide but now you treading on wrong territories.
You forget I was in Sun City with you!

The fight was on everyone lips for quite a few months as we almost forgot about it, the two’s beef reignited after she called him the “worst human”. And that was a few days ago to be precise that was on Monday.
Phil posted a tweet about who he thought the breakout stars were for 2020. Mphela named Ama Qamata, TK Sebothoma, Busi Lurayi and Lunathi Mampofu as such. When stylist Dumi Gwebu responded: “Please do not disrespect Busi Lurayi like this.” Bonang felt like it was a perfect chance to drag Phil one more time at least this time she’ll have someone in her corner.
“He’s disrespectful. Always been,” Queen B wrote. Then moments later Gumbi called the commentator vile and the media personality couldn’t agree more she than said he was the worst human. : “He’s literally the worst human. Lol!” she wrote.

Yohhhhh, when Phil saw the statements he came with stones, that everyone tried so hard to duck but it wasn’t possible. He called Bonang a snow queen who can’t keep a man or a friend to save her life.
Yes, minions.
I’m clearly that powerful that she can’t seem to just keep me out of her mouth or radar … 🤷🏾♂️🙂
Just block me out of your mind, life, thoughts, etc.
Honestly, if I’m a non-entity just erase. But we know she can’t.
Moving on.

I respect creatives.
Not snow queens who can’t keep a man or friend to save their life because the mere notion of respect doesn’t exist to them.
You have to be a minion and suck up to exist in the same world.
Run and tell that!

I love you. I appreciate the support. But this industry is fake as fcuk!
You saw exactly what she did. Don’t msg me. Tell her publicly;
O tshwenya Phil and he has ignore you all this time. Stop it. You know you have a huge following and this will cause drama.
Have the balls!
— Kgopolo Mphela (@PhilMphela) December 28, 2020
Why don’t you have the balls to ask her;
You are a superstar. You have millions of fans. You get to meet Presidents and Oscar winners, why do you keep provoking fights with this guy. You not friends. You blocked each other. Why? What is it about Phil?
Start there! 🤷🏾♂️

In conclusion, Phil shared screenshots in which they had a very civil conversation in 2012 Queen B went as far as thanking him for his support of her career.
It all went wrong when I started calling her out. Telling her, you can’t treat people like that. That makeup artist sacrificed to be there please be nicer. Don’t do that here because we don’t know these people.
Don’t talk to me like that, I’m not one of your fans.
