Comedienne, Tumi Morake has hilariously responded to Queen B*'s hoity refusal to appear on her SABC 3 show, WTF Tumi, citing advice from her fans not to do so.
Lol. My supporters say I mustn’t come to your show. I’ll have to decline but thank you. 🙏🏽❤️ https://t.co/ObmAVFJko9

Industry heavy-weights and fans alike have been sharing their thoughts on the matter ever since but it was this particular critique from entertainment commentator, Phil Mphela, that got Tumi's attention. She has actually been silent ever since she responded to Bonang Matheba's denial of the request made by the show's producers but all those Twitter tags eventually broke through and prompted her to respond:
Hayi ke, we'll Stan in our own way. We stand misunderstood. Slay on Queen slayer. Re lebogile 👍 https://t.co/k2RbdQJz7R

It is when you are tagged in conversations you don't give a flying hoot about that the timeline gets annoying 🙄 How does Twitter not let us remove tags though. Or at least add a "don't care" button. Mute ain't doing enough

Tumi's hilarious and bombastic response has gone over the heads of some:

So what DID Tumi say?
- "Don't argue with her stans, it's a futile excercise" = there is no point in arguing with Bonang's fans
- "...that ends in needless denigration..." = you will be unnecessarily criticized
- "...and renders your intellect superfluous..." = you will end up looking stupid
- "Mind you they grossly hyperbolize the few times she's been mentioned on the show" = they are exaggerating. *We [at WTF Tumi] have never maliciously mentioned Queen B in the few times we've mentioned her on the show.
At the end of the day however, 👇🏾
