The fundraising goal was set at £10,000, with 31 individuals donating a total of £275 at the time of reporting. Despite her intentions to elevate her craft, the initiative faced a wave of criticism on social media.

Many online users voiced their disapproval, accusing Madam Boss of selfishness and greed. They argued that as a successful figure, she should not rely on public donations and should use her own resources for career development. Some critics suggested that she should have used the platform to raise funds for charitable causes or individuals in need.

The uproar highlighted the contrasting opinions regarding using GoFundMe for personal career advancements versus charitable endeavors. 

The debate continues as supporters and critics share their perspectives on the appropriateness of such fundraising initiatives in the public eye.
