Yolanda revealed that when she first saw Kwesta she decided he was not her type at all. Because of this, she didn’t think highly of him. She just wanted to do the video job and go away. However, Kwesta, who was already smitten by her, tried to get her attention by cracking some jokes but Yolanda was not having any of that.
In fact, she found his jokes quite annoying and got irritated with the way he was trying too hard to get her to laugh. Eventually, she gave in and laughed. Talking about this, in another interview, Yolanda explained that when she saw that Kwesta was not relenting in trying to get her to like him, she decided to give him a chance.
