Thusi arrived at the Metro FM Music Awards (MMAs) wearing a 70’s inspired outfit which looked like a form-fitting pair of black pants with a white halter-neck type top that trailed all the way down her back and to her feet. She paired this with a new shoulder bob hair-do and blunt fringe.

After posting a picture to her Instagram account, fans were quick to judge her hairstyle, with many referring to it as a bikers helmet. However, Thusi was not about to let the comments slide, as she proceeded to ‘stalk’ the women who had left the comments, screenshot their accounts and create a collage of their faces. She then posted this picture to her Instagram account, mocking the women about how they looked.
Fans were quick to use social media platforms like Twitter to criticise how Thusi dealt with the situation, with many of them saying that it was ‘childish’ and ‘petty’ and some have even gone as far to say that she should take advice from her rival, Bonang Matheba, on how to deal with fans who speak their mind.

However, some fans have jumped to her defence and rallied behind her.
