Sunday Twitter was yet again on fire after the Migos Culture Tour in Joburg mess and while everything had simmered down by the evening a Twitter user decided to troll Nomzamo Mbatha.
According to fans at the show, there was a stampede in the Golden Circle section at the venue, while others branded the event as poorly organisations.
Usually, one to not clap back the 'Isibaya' actress clearly was in the mood to set Twitter user @Litchi_HOV in his place after he commented "ur still wearing this dress from 2015 nee gerl" after she posted a photo of her in a purple latex dress.

Nomzamo then clapped backed, stating: "Sis, I think we should stick to dancing and leave the Customs Duty paying to mama.
For the record, that one busted, dis' a new one".

The star then threw in another shady tweet for good messure:
This trolling thing has to have rules...
1. Know your Tax bracket. 🙏🏽

This tweet did not sit well with some Twitter users and debate sprung on Monday morning on whether the tweet lacked tacked and was anti-poor.
Know your tax bracket Twitter is boring because it’s based on an assumption. You don’t know my life

Don’t tell your fans to “know their tax bracket” when they spend their “small” money to support your initiatives. Sanukunyela abantu!

Nothing wrong with her defending herself but its funny how celebrities think just because you're not famous, you're not in their tax bracket

However, not all of the Twitterverse thought that Nomzamo was being distatstefull in her tweet.
I guess the essence of it all is...Tax bracket clap backs are for Vusi. And Vusi alone🤗

People are so touched by that tax bracket tweet like it’s directed at them. We love making tweets about us here. It’s not about you!!! pic.twitter.com/A7jLUPhLkH

Exactly. He was directly coming for her finances and her response was befitting. She didn’t just wake up and start talking tax brackets.

Nomzamo has responded to outrage stating "The tweet was addressed at one individual who was being a troll.
Context."
The tweet was addressed at one individual who was being a troll.
Context. https://t.co/fOeHRFIxlP

We all had a good laugh! It was all said in jest!
Tweets MUST be taken into context. Now we can't address "trolls" at the level they choose to jab?
Is'not fun anymore ke 🤷🏽♀️

Hopefully Nozamo's explanation will calm the tweeps enough to rest their fingers for the next heated Sunday Twitter session.
