Kuli Roberts pulls no punches and that's what people like about her. Her 'in your face' personality often gets misconstrued for being utterly rude, but those who love her, know she is just being a straight shooter. That's why her comments about superstar Thuso Mbedu bagging a new acting role, was seen as a slight diss to actress Nomzamo Mbatha.
Mzansi went crazy when Thuso Mbedu announced that she would be working alongside the incredible Viola Davis for an upcoming film called The Woman King. This major win was announced just days before we see her in action on a series called Underground Railroad, which will premier on 14 May.
Announcing the incredible news, Thuso started off by saying, "So this happened. Dreams do come true. Once again the love and support you have shown me is astounding and has left me speechless. I’m so humbled by your words of encouragement. Thank you for believing in me. For those asking “how”? Y’all know me: pursuing purpose and staying ready. That will never change."

Kuli Roberts commended Thuso for enjoying her wins quietly and not announcing her every move. Unlike "someone" she did not name, who announced every single move and win, be it big or small.
"Thuso works quietly, ngesafa ngabanye, (we would not hear the end of it if it were someone else.) There would be posters about every interview and trips to the toilet," she tweeted.
She then took it further by saying, "Someone once did a poster for a Radio interview. The poster was so ambiguous, we assumed uMomomo had a new slot. Obviously we congratulated her on her new slot, cause we are animals. Kanti uyothetha for 5 minutes (she was only going to speak for 5 minutes) Akunzimar."

Even though she did not name the person she was subbing, many concluded that she was talking about Nomzamo Mbatha who recently bagged a role on Coming 2 America. Leading up to the premier and even after, Nomzamo posted her every move, radio and TV interviews as well as guest appearances on various tv shows.
The way Nomzamo boasted about her success in Hollywood, one could conclude that sis is extremely excited and proud. Since both the women are doing well for themselves overseas people seem to pit them against each other by turning it into a competition.
