Everybody was talking about the Oscar's on Monday morning and while some were focused on the drama which erupted, Ntsiki decided to diver the attention to one of the performer's for the evening, Beyoncé.
Ntsiki has always been an advocate for natural beauty which is not enhanced by expensive weaves and heavy make up. So she was not going to go easy on Beyoncé.
She laughed and said she has never found Beyoncé pretty, citing light skin privilege as her reason for success.
"One more unpopular opinion....I've never thought Beyoncé was pretty, just light skin privilege."
A follower tried to correct her by sharing a portrait of Beyoncé but still she was not convinced and so she said, makeup and weaves, are not her standard of beauty.
Ntsiki then as always, targeted women who wear make up and weaves, and said if they feel as though they feel or look prettier with them, then they possibly look or feel ugly in their own natural state.
The colourism debate always rocks up on the timeline and Ntsiki feels as though the conversation is had and Beyoncé is excluded.
Ntsiki has taken aim at some local celebrities as well, and those include Mihlali Ndamase, Bonang Matheba and many others
At first, she took aim at DJ Zinhle saying she sells weaves, so she might as well sell drugs. On Tuesday, 1 June 2021, DJ Zinhle announced that she launched her Hair Majesty by DJ Zinhle and released 15 Peruvian weaves.
In a series of tweets, Ntsiki slammed Zinhle nd said she is highly unimpressed by DJ Zinhle's choices to sell weaves and alcohol (Boulevard) saying it is detrimental to the youth and Africans as a whole.
“Imagine...Your celebs glamorize and sell booze and foreign hair to you. Sies man,” she tweeted. "Only black women have a foreign standard of beauty.... It's embarrassing...I can't believe you have normalized wearing white peoples hair instead of learning to love your own."
Here are some of her other tweets, directed at local ZAlebs and weave loving women in general:
"When whites told you, you look like monkeys you believed them.... That's why you're doing your best to look more like them and less like monkeys akere?
"You know what I find fascinating, your role models African Americans are waking up to their real hair..... When they look across to Africa for inspiration they gonna find you ladies in bad weaves.
"You know what I find fascinating, your role models African Americans are waking up to their real hair..... When they look across to Africa for inspiration they gonna find you ladies in bad weaves.
"It's so deep...Weaves wouldn't have a marker if black women loved and respected their own hair."
