#TheLinkUp

If you are a loyal reader of Black Twitter News you'll remember this bunch by an ordeal they had with @JCubes of Liquid Chefs regarding stolen intellectual property, I will not recite that article but I'm sure it's all coming back to you however that is not why they made it on this.

I've been painted as a hater of note here by Black Twitter because I have low tolerance of bull shit but I'm really not and I am for anything good with proper potential. So I have decided to give all your popular hangouts you guys like a feature on this here blog however I know it'll be hard to get through to Kong Urban and SWAY but I'll not give up without trying. So what this means is I'll profile them, their gigs and all things nice but I hope not to bore you as you used to scandals. I still report live on your TL, so if I see a gig hyped up, I'll be there to hype it up too.


I have decided to go with #TheLinkUp by @KingDonEnter because not only was I here from its birth but because I can see so much potential on this, you gotta start somewhere. We often get reminded of how we never make twitter work for us, we just there to be popular, mean and funny but King Don Enter has actually flipped all of that, they can be all that I've mentioned but they have also found a way to make twitter work for them.

King Don Enter came up with a concept of getting all the boys to play FIFA14 for a prize, it was an existing idea but not as popular, they bombarded us with tweets promoting the tweets, from that FIFA Tournament  #TheLinkUp was born.

The launch of #TheLinkUp came as a total surprise, we were not ready. Eyebrows were raised. Timelines were curious, “What is The Link Up” they asked. Answers came. Interest rose. The Link Up is for all of us not only the boys and some girls, what this means is that we will be chilling, watching and enjoying the set up, while the boys play FIFA on the side, Fun will be had on the other. It's a beautiful set up seeing that tweeps love meeting other tweeps to tweet about them the next day and who knows your crush might be there and you can Link Up it with him or her. 

Let joy be unconfined; fun will be had, when youth and pleasure meet.  Like other hangouts of the kind, it will first be silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk and fun will be had. So come join in on Saturday 02 August at Darkie Café, 10 Anderson Street, Marshalltown Jozi,  because fun will be had. There will be laughter. There will be joy



“@iSandile: Anyway, just come through. Have a laugh at us or with us. We’ll laugh with you. It’ll be fun either way. Free entry. #TheLinkUP”



Word is that #TheLinkUp will happen first Saturday of every month. So Link Up. 



Spend all your first Saturdays of the month at #TheLinkUp and Link Up or be Linked Up either way Fun Will Be Had.



Remember fellas, The FIFA Tournament will go on, 16 players, R200 entry fee and the prize money of R2000, that can buy you a black berry Z10 and some data, I think but that's not the point, the point is this is a big deal.


“@KingDonEnter: Hoping you guys are prepared for Next week Saturday, 02 August. A lot more than the FIFA tournament will be taking place #TLU”


They'll be DJs; @JackDevero, @LemonnHerb, @IamDJSOSO, @WaraRSA Kadance, Sumo, Louis Da XVI, Stifler. 

What is nice is The King Don Entertainment keeps it's people happy, they improve with every gig.

So if you love meeting new people, you'll make your way to Darkie Cafe and Link Up and you'll also get to ask what inspired them to name the venue Darkie Cafe that's if you part of elite twitter and fake a lil outrage on how offensive it is, either way you win. There are people who looking forward to this like myself,

“@LekohD_: Will attend both shows they are lining up for next week.. can't wait ----> @KingDonEnter”

“@_Snowiie: I wanna meet abo oomf at #TheLinkUp”
 
“@miss_concept: I can feel me getting this #TheLinkUp FOMO. I can feel it build up slowly.”

“@CranbeRii: I should tag along with my mates to #TheLinkUp try out something different for a change:)


FIFA players can enquire via KingDonEnter@gmail.com or tweet n follow @KingDonEnter and everyone else can follow acc, follow @LoopMagSA and check out loopmagazine.co.za to keep up with youth culture and trends. 



Big up to The King Don Entertainment, this has a potential to grow even bigger and all the best. Thank you for the personalized invite, the effort doesn't go unnoticed.


July 24, 2014

It's not just twitter, let's fight it out.

Lovely day, is it not? I doubt normal news report ask such but I felt it is appropriate to ask, it's just one of those chilled days on Black Twitter, everyone is minding their own business and seemingly doing what they are getting paid to do at work. Anyway, I too been lazy, I'm even lazy to spot any drama brewing as yo'all have been behaving a lot lately but as I was caught up in lazying around something caught my attention and I followed it to its root. 


We have learned to accept that Club promoters from Jozi clubs have won twitter and they can't stay away from the spot light, I don't know if they seek attention or attention just falls on them but I don't really care much to find out. I was praising male promoters for actually being promoters and not trophies on the TL, boy I was tripping though I feel this is unnecessary. Yesterday tweeps were talking about people who buy followers, this is a common phenomena though there's no proof of it but black twitter is convinced certain people buy followers to fit in. Fine, it is mostly common for people considered nobodies but have tons of followers, by nobodies I mean not famous for anything tangible or rather people you did not know before joining twitter. With no disrespect, you look at @KhayaDlanga, @Sentletse, we didn't know them but they have a lot of followers but it makes sense because they are smart and have been here first and also funny hence a big follower count. 

You are aware of @Tackyz, one of the problems on my TL, stand alone tweleb, I wonder if he embraces that title like the other twelebs. Tackyz was featured on our news some time ago for outing @NosMtshali's non existent Rolex, it was hilarious however today it was him against promoters, sounds dramatic neh? But it's not.  @JabbuM is one of the best male promoters, I know it'll be cute when he finds out I've been observing him and have some interest in his life. I am not a facts person but I think he promotes Cocoon a club somewhere out there, I don't know its geographic position or Sway in Sandton, the Michelle of clubs in the north, I don't know but what I do know is he is in that business. 


As people were having fun with the topic of people buying followers, @JabbuM asked a question, I honestly don't know what triggered it but I totally understand where he is coming from. 

“@JabbuM: Does Tackyz also buy followers? Lol”

I'm saying I get him because @Tackyz blew out of nowhere, like the likes of @_Zanie who are sitting at over 10 000 followers, I'd think they bought followers too though it would be unfair as I can see they tweet and have a fan base so that makes me a horrible person for thinking that. This question was asked yesterday, and Nos and @Muzi_Z replied, they are the only people who did, understandably so.

“@Muzi_Z: He's That Tacky RT @nos_mtshali: lol “@JabbuM: Does Tackyz also buy followers? Lol”

Brilliant word play by Muzi. There's nothing sickening than a simple "Lol" from your least favorite person on a tweet dissing you, I don't know if you understand but it just makes me mad. Anyway we have this thing of liking people who hate the same people as us, so we all get why Nos Loled, it's not that funny but hey, she loled. But our @Tackyz of Landon didn't let it go, take note that he wasn't tagged. Tackyz is a "Cool Tweeter" (I read somewhere), what this means is everyone knows about him and he searches his name or has name alerts, that's just creepy so when you subtweet him he'll catch you out, unlike @OfentseZA who catches subtweet that don't even have his name but he somehow knows they are for him and he's always right. Tackyz is Black Twitter's favorite character (Not that I'm saying yo'all like him or know him) he doesn't fear anyone or anything and he is confrontational that way he causes drama and Black Twitter loves drama. 

“@tackyz: @Muzi_Z @nos_mtshali @JabbuM some people believe 2pac and Hitler are alive too. I guess there will always be conspiracy theorists. @ me tho.”

Incredible. Come back? 

“@JabbuM: @tackyz @Muzi_Z @nos_mtshali oh ok.”

“@tackyz: @JabbuM good boy.”


Dry I must say, I thought it would stretch out a bit longer to make my day. However, knowing Tackyz he won't let go, he tweeted something to close off without tagging. 

“@tackyz: Probably a NOBODY in school but now knows girls through promoting he thinks he can subtweet me like I won't slap him out of his day dream”

Jabu got hyped over this, I'd honestly ignore. 

“@JabbuM: Hahahahaha Come to cocoon this Sat!
,  Let's sort this out off twitter.. Or tell me where to meet you.. Please. @tackyz”

Here we go again, this never works. Meeting tweeps to fight is just wack, Claro suggested it and he lost, Siya suggested it and failed to pitch, so it is a big no no. Let's fight on the TL and leave it at that, it's just twitter, I guess. Jabu disagrees and Tackyz is chilled about it. 


“@JabbuM: Tell me when you back boy! You run your mouth too much “@tackyz: @JabbuM well I'm in London at the moment. Maybe we can beef on Skype?””



Seems it's real, I just wanna be there when it happens. I don't think they take each other seriously, at least not the other guy, how can you beef on Skype? Jabu should've just stopped talking to him at that. Tackyz went on to drag it a bit longer 

“@tackyz: You can't please all of the people all of the time but at least @ me if your're gona talk about me. Why you scared? Anywaaaay”


Anwaaaay, Jabu also subtweeted his closing statement regarding the matter at hand 

“@JabbuM: Tackyz ne. He actually got under my skin hahahahaha! Him and Syncane... Anytime Okes! Anytime!”

Well, boring. It would've been great if this ended with the date and time of the fight, though I'm not for it but it would be great, Jabbu is small in size and Tackyz looks big, so...!? It would be another Claro vs Smashis thrill. As BTNews we glad to bring you such messes at no cost and we as sad that this ended like this.

15K Tab Had Black Twitter Reevaluating Their Lives

There's a common trend there by black twitter, subtle brags and they seem to be the in thing. I am one of those people who actually doesn't have a problem with people who brag, if you worked for it then why not!? But Black Twitter is not very kind to people who brag though it depends on who actually does the bragging and from which circle they are from. This trend is common among both male and female but it is more evident on females because there's always a group of girls waiting to hate, stand by haters. 


Ok well I always try to relay the events that take place before anything erupts. Tonight was chilled I was not in the mood to be in people's business but ke because people just can't keep certain things themselves I was forced to be within people's business. Fine, there's a girl, she's actually a baby and I wasn't aware of this until I found out it was her birthday yesterday and she was turning 21, her handle @Nsikoe. Well I don't know much about her, I just recently followed her but I believe she's from KZN and she just one of those random tweeps, nothing dramatic coming from her side or special for lack of a better word. Everything was going smooth on baby girl's birthday night, 

“@Nsikoe: Thank you :) @Thabisoul: Happy bday @Nsikoe"”

I learnt that it was yesterday and she didn't wanna let go of the attention and kept swimming in the birthday wishes. Fine, a couple of moments later she kicked a beehive if I had super powers I would've actually kicked her phone before her next series of tweets.  

“@Nsikoe: R15000 bill ok 😕😂 #ItsMyPaaaarti”

Ok, I lied this is not a subtle brag this is just a brag, I fully developed brag no two ways about it but we understood it is her 21st birthday she deserves all the nice things. She caught us at a bad time, we all had less tweeting material so everyone threw a festival. 

 “@Spar_Letta: Happy Belated Birthday, hope you having a great one but can we see receipts?  “@Nsikoe: R15000 bill ok 😕😂 #ItsMyPaaaarti”

“@sUnGu_: Wow, you're rich neh RT @Nsikoe: R15000 bill ok 😕😂 #ItsMyPaaaarti”

“@lindarni: #AuditorGeneralThings "@sUnGu_: Wow, you're rich neh RT @Nsikoe: R15000 bill ok 😕😂 #ItsMyPaaaarti”

What you'll pick is that it is all jokes, nothing said there caused any upset. She is Auditor in General or friends with him or her, it would makes sense for to blow 15K on booze and stuff. As we were still on it, my newest favorite follower dragged it, 

“@OzzaT_: Ndoda "@sUnGu_: Wow, you're rich neh RT @Nsikoe: R15000 bill ok 😕😂 #ItsMyPaaaarti"”

“@OzzaT_: 15k bill for a night out????U people nine mali hey...”

“@Nsikoe: And my 3 friends @OzzaT_: U paying that bill 1 man?Nsiko: Not really @sUnGu_: Wow, you're rich neh Nsiko: R15000 bill ok 😕😂 #ItsMyPaaaarti”

He's quiet touched to, it is a lot of money but I totally understood because it is her birthday some people kill that much money every weekend without shame. What is puzzling is that Birthday Girl couldn't stay off her phone to enjoy her night but felt the need to update us and she opened a can of worms for herself as she kept tweeting. 

“@Nsikoe: Didn't enjoy my birthday lunch was hanging AF but the evening turned out better 😃 #CubanaFlorida”

“@OzzaT_: Manje how r u still awake ke? "@Nsikoe: Wanted to have 21 shots at 12 but ended up having 10 and blacked out 😕"”

“@OzzaT_: I guess "black out" means something totally different”

“@Nsikoe: Saturday nigga shit it's Monday manje @OzzaT_: That was jst now now mos "@Nsikoe: Ozza that was ngo 12 this morning"”

“@OzzaT_: She said "12 this morning"...12 was just now now meaning she "blacked out" jst now...”

“@Nsikoe: Not replying to Ozza and his people now 😴”

Ozza done messed up the lil girl's head, making it seem like it is all a lie or her comprehension failed her. But from what I understand, the festivities started during the day, that is Saturday then she drank so much and blacked out, at 12pm then later went out with the friends to kill 15K but this is twitter, we have selective reading. This was just a convo between two people but the other seems to be mocking the other one in a cute way, I wouldn't be mad. But the problem starts when 3rd parties who don't even take time to read the thread join in. 

“@fatimalala195: LOL she out bugt her hand is typing joh!!"Ozza I guess "black out" means something totally different”

“@Nsikoe: Saturday sdomu @OzzaT_: Sunday? "@sUnGu_: She says last night "@Lessy_sego: Like??? 😂😂"Ozza I guess "black out" means something totally”

See? She's slowly getting irritated and that's the exact thing Black Twitter wanted from her and she gave in and they went in hard. 


“@OzzaT_: Lmao why u mad bra?This is mad funny looking at the time "@sUnGu_: Ozza Ozza come on bra its too late for this. Her birthday was on the 20th”

“@Nsikoe: "U paid for Stunts trip doe @OzzaT_: I wish I had friends where we can spend 15k on my bday hey ☹....I doubt I'd allow that though"”

“@OzzaT_: @Nsikoe lmao I didn't spend 15k on Stunt though....I didn't even spend 5k on my DBN trip”


It escalated real quick. Ozza surely knows how to drag, I don't know Birthday Girl appreciated the attention or she was being nice and responsive. 

“@OzzaT_: Did it damage ur budget though? "@Nsikoe: I also didn't believe it hey. Lol"”

“@Nsikoe: Lol shit happens I'm happy @OzzaT_: @Nsikoe lmao I didn't spend 15k on Stunt though....I didn't even spend 5k on my DBN trip"”

“@OzzaT_: @Nsikoe can we be friends hey???”

“@OzzaT_: Mina I believe u...its just the blacking out part that confuses me "@Nsikoe: Lmao why wud I lie? 😕"”

“@OzzaT_: Can we start our friendship with u donating 1k to me? "@Nsikoe: Lol i don't mind Ozza @Nsikoe can we be friends hey???""”

“@Nsikoe: @OzzaT_ went out Saturday night wanted to have shots when it hits 12 for Sunday which was yesterday, 2 hours ago, hence the confusion.”

Gosh, it was getting boring but one person joined in the fun, though she was being a total dick about the whole thing, it was just funny to observe. 

“@Lessy_sego: Can she twitpic that bill please... empty flexing -__-”

“@Lessy_sego: 15k on booze :( i wasnt raised like that, you people are rich”

“@Lessy_sego: Why must you tell us how much you spent though????? Fokof”

I sweared to the twitter Gods that I will never write about anything that has a connection with Kong_Urban, I've given them enough free publicity however its people don't know how to stay away from trouble and it troubles me. I don't get pleasure in unpacking their dumb tweets and it is sad that the Kong label will always be there though this case had nothing to do with Kong but being dumb will always make us question how you got your job. 
 
Fine our lady of Grey Leggigs was a bit touched about the 15K saga which is rather confusing as to how she condemns this act of flexing when she does it all the time together with her clique. At first she showed interest but like me she wanted to see proof though it wouldn't change anything then later draws back and throws her up bringing into all this. We hope she will one day tell us if she was raised to be a waitress. She was more like an instigator sort of, the difference with her and Oza is that she did not engage or ask Birthday Girl to clear the mist but took the subtweet route, I really didn't expect that much of her, she is too shallow but Oza asked directly. It went on 

“@ManeyoAgain: Didn't you ask for a twitpic? "@Lessy_sego: Why must you tell us how much you spent though????? Fokof"”

Great, her friend was just as puzzled, Lessy is just clear example of how we women change our minds, cute. 

“@Lessy_sego: Im not angry hey ☺ i envy ya "@Kingzzley: Hahaha ba nje! "@Nsikoe: Haibo guys that Lesego chick is angry :( don't even follow her :("”

Shem poor Birthday Girl, she went from being irritated to being upset and The Kong Babe didn't make life easy for her as she kept on patronising the poor child, this is the point were I'd actually burst. 

“@Lessy_sego: You tweeting too much for someone who blacked out from a 15k bill yazi 😂”

We shared the same sentiments there, I don't get why you would do that to yourself, mess up your birthday night when you could've stopped tweeting and had a great time. Some unknown was fuelling the girl. 

“@Lessy_sego: Right?? ☺"@_Ursh: 15k?? Haai, do you, boo. If I HAD to spend that kinda money, I'd go shopping. Honestly."”

“@Lessy_sego: Im crying 😂😂😂 "@_Ursh: Yet she's outchea (': RT @Lessy_sego: Black out 😂😂😂😂😂"”

It's crazy, I just don't understand how we miss the fact that our priorities are not the same, you'd buy clothes cause you don't have them, someone else would pay their tuition but did it occur to any of us that it might be spare change, she doesn't have the same problems as us? I couldn't stay away from the party though I don't know if I was appropriate or not, 


At this point it looks like I'm out to get her or that I have beef and I honestly don't, if ubheda uyabheda. Well Birthday girl had a proper defence force, they best of this kind. 

“@sUnGu_: Lol yall don't like it when others are doing better neh :'D"”

“@sUnGu_: Just cause you can't afford it doesn't mean others can't as well. Don't hate”

“@Mtamerri: & then there are tweeps bothered that Nsikoe just spent 15K in one night *smh* Kong girls think they the only one who can do such!”

“@Vee_66: Hawu guys umona??!!!! Hlezi sibona amaReceipts la for 40k lapho umuntu aint celebrating shit. She was celebrating her 21st 15K bumncane nje”

“@presh06: yal so bitchy tryna ruin someone's happy day argh”

“@Zulu_Guy: Why you frustrated by what other people spend their money on? Uyahlupheka perhaps?”

“@Zulu_Guy: So she supposedly blew HER OWN R15K. Where, on the doll, were YOU touched?”

“@Just_Bongz: LMFAO RT@Mtamerri: Yazi @Nsikoe, if you had hot friends on twitter, ngabe no one is on your case! Manje wena uSkeema noIntemnandi”

“@_Ursh: No no. It's the fact that she blacked out, but she's tweeting. RT @Kingzzley: I thought yall were rich kids kante 15k surprises yall? Haa”

Last tweet is stupid this girl thinks we stupid, it started with 15K then went to the unclear black out. If the 15k bomb wasn't thrown at us we wouldn't give a shit if she blacked out for a second. 


Anyway it seems it ended well, this is just a clear example of how we overact wether we affected or not. 

“@OzzaT_: ☺ "@Nsikoe: Ozza it's cool hey”

“@Lessy_sego: But we were just kidding though..until ppl made it seem bad  "@Nsikoe: Coz I'm an elbow I don't deserve nice things? :(""”

Happy ending, but yincane into exabanisa abantu, joke ubuye nganeno.
 “@Nsikoe: From 0 to 100 real quick! Bottle number 5 down 😕 It's my paaaaatttiii 😢😃😄 http://twitter.com/Nsikoe/status/490997546568155136/photo/1”

#PenisShamming


 

Maybe if we pour water on it, it will grow.
It’s cute. Can I draw a smiley face on it?

 

These are some of the things that came to mind when I heard of this ‘penis shaming’ blowout on Twitter yesterday. I admit I started to pay attention quite late; I blame Palesa for bringing it to my attention ngesikhathi sakhe. If she was a period I’d be so worried.

 

What is Penis Shaming? Thanks to @OfentseZA for asking & tweeps who replied, we have a basic definition.

 

"@MothomothoBatho: Or for having an uncut penis"@Khutz100: Mocking someone for having a smallpenis "@OfentseZA: What is #PenisShaming

 

I don’t know if penis shaming is now a trend or if it’s done predominantly by men or women but as a guy we do tend to have cock fights, usually in good fun amongst friends. These fights are not about shaming but take a form of one denying they are bigger than a friend and handing the endowment trophy over. “No, you are bigger.” “No, you are.” You get the picture. It seems penis shaming is not limited to small sizes but also those considered too big, I have no clue what too big is but@Phoenix902 intimates having one means a long recovery spell. “Needing half a week to recover from sex cos dude too big is NOT cute shem. #PenisShaming” One is not sure if this recovery is in a medical institution or at home. Phoenix, we’d love to hear from you about your experience.

 

@AnotoMe_ set the stage, tweeting from a study published in September 2012 in The Journal Of Sexual Medicine, basically the study found women, especially those who prefer vaginal intercourse, orgasm better with men with larger penises. According to the tweets the jury is still out on which orgasm, vaginal or clitoral, is the best. I wonder if this is like a ‘Chicken or beef?’ question.

 

It seems size truly does matter & we didn’t need a scientific study for that, #penisshaming answered it. It matters to women how small or big a penis is. Some women seem to fear large penises.

 

@audreymarielle @AnatoMe_ personally I don't want a super huge penis. That's too much. Lol #PenisShaming

 

@mbongomuffin I like my cervix in tact, thank you very much. "@audreymarielle: Y'all really want 10-12 inch dick??? Why??? #PenisShaming"

 

I had no idea a cervix should be damaged by a penis but it seems it has happened and there is a possible lawsuit under consideration.

 

 

 

@MiXO_pop: August Alsina ruptures woman's cervixhttp://i2.mediatakeout.com/249913/mto-shock-exclusive-woman-claims-that-rb-singer-august-alsina-has-such-a-giant-dong-that-he-ruptured-her-cervix-shes-suing-too.html#.U8a0AUjachU.twitter … #PenisShaming"

 

Others don’t know what to do with 10” penises and there was a mix of the thoughtfully serious tweets, Elite Twitter made an appearance & you couldn’t keep Feminist Twitter away even if you tried. Words like patriarchy and misogyny featured.

 

@TheAntiDaniel tweeted:

 

The most twisted example of men's insecurities with their penis size comes at the intersection of that issue with racism and misogyny.
Where white okes just love watching porn where black men with large dicks practically tear the crevices of white women apart.
And this is so twisted because it's white men profiting off of other white men's fears and women's and black men's bodies.
But that's another issue that has less to do with individuals penis shaming and more to do with how shit gets out of hand fast.

 

Notably a large number of women seemed to discuss penis shaming at great length, seeing that women are the gatekeepers of sexual intercourse and are perhaps better placed at comparing sizes, sharing their experiences should come as no surprise. However @NyakalloLephoto had a valid point “Women wanna tweet dick, I am not gonna try and stop them. But watch feminists make noise when men tweet about vaginas.#PenisShaming

 

@AnotoMe_ even tweeted a few cruelly amusing pointers on how to penis shame taken fromhttp://www.pajiba.com/miscellaneous/ten-subtle-ways-to-tell-him-that-his-penis-is-too-small.php

 

It seems penis shaming is a thing; it does happen whether we want to blame patriarchy for it or people who don’t care about another person’s feelings or just for a laugh. When I saw this tweet from @TheAntiDaniel “Yet aside from penis shaming, the actual insecurities that men and, white men in particular, harbour are worth discussing, I feel.” I felt pity, I am not sure if that is penis shaming.

 

Shaming is all around in many forms, women’s bodies are shamed almost daily and men’s abdomens too, especially when girls swoon over models with rock abs.One day I’d like to see skuni (towning/sex without a condom) shaming because there is too much skuning out there, people are walking around with inexplicable discharges, itching, burning and coughs. It’s not for the humour factor but to educate & change mindsets. Safe sexual practices are far more important that worrying about penis size and foreskin.

 

Penis shaming will be with us for a while, personally I reckon one should love the penis they have small or big, circumcised or not, not matter how much shaming is thrown at you. Love your penis brother.

 


 By "The Ghost", he said I must refer to him as that, I don't know why he thinks being called ghost is cool, but I appreciate the piece, it's good to hear from a male perspective as this mostly affects men, we are just on the receiving end. I don't penis shame by the way, men just get offended when I state my preference.

Twitter Break Up



Being in a relationship is everything and breaking up will leave you with nothing but a heartache worse if your relationship was publicized and when people looked up to your relationship. Since we can not over look the fact that twitter relationships exist we need to also understand that there are relationships we know about like that of Morena and Nomcebo and that of me and my boyfriend which no one knows about. The difference between the two is that Nomorena is up in our faces just like Lindani and Zama's relationships, with me and my boy nobody knows but our circles so when me and my boy break up I will not be owing black twitter an explanation as to why we broke up like the other two. Not that the people need an explanation but it only fair to tell them you broke up like you did when you was dating. 

Twitter has a trend, #SkaJumpisa and I'm for this trend, I'd hate people knowing my business but it is cute when the boy shows you off though mine blocked me everywhere. #SkaJumpisa saves you a lot of trouble, even when you break up no one will monitor your tweets and behavior towards your ex bae and you get to cheat in peace because no one knows that you belong to someone, those are the only benefits of it. If you jumpisa you are to black twitter what Kim and Kanye are to the world. 

Anyway, we know @Lindarni as one of the KZN meanis but how he treated his girl was amazing from the surface of course. Well an idea of a perfect relationship online was what Lindani and Zama had, they tweeted each other, put each other as avatars, posted each other there by IG. They were great, I admired them. But it seems things went sour and we were not made aware of that which is unfair because we couldn't notice as in our eyes they were perfect. A month later @uZamo, one of the mean people on twitter who happens to be Lindani's close friend noticed that things were not all roses anymore. He tweeted, 


How he found out nobody knows but it seems that's how they play, they laugh at each other on the TL about sad stuff, men are happy people because if you can laugh at you can live with it but women don't know this. Lindani noticed Zamo's tweets and had to out with it shem and you can feel the heartache through his tweets. 

“@lindarni: It's been a month guys. Shit happens. I fucked up kwabheda.”

Poor guy, he is not giving us much but when they went out for ice cream he would gives details of his outing. Siyanda asked, 

“@Dear_Shozi: After the relationship has ended u guys delete the IG pics 😂😂😂😂😂”

People do that? To think I still have my exes pics on Facebook O_O. Lindani is really cool he answered, 

“@lindarni: Not me. I'm keeping each and every pic. “@Dear_Shozi: After the relationship has ended u guys delete the IG pics 😂😂😂😂😂””

“@lindarni: The relationship was amazing. She was an amazing girlfriend. I will not delete any pic. Why would i wanna forget her? 😨”

Ncooh clearly he messed things up, he messed up a good relationship because that Zama girl looks really innocent, noway she could mess up the relationship. He affirmed this 

“@lindarni: @ColinJames_H lol but i'm not hurt now bru. I screwed up. Will live with this.”

“@lindarni: yes it was. I'll mourn forever. “@PhumeDlamini: its your fault.””

I like a man who admits when they fucked up, I hope it didn't involve another girl. His friends like laughing at serious things, they had a party over this too. 

“@lindarni: Lmao nah. Nevet said that. “@uZamo_: #MyZamanjeks””

“@Md_Oooh: I record lakho li undisputed njayami RT @lindarni: It's been a month guys. Shit happens. I fucked up kwabheda.”

“@S_boh: #InSolidarityWithLindarni”

“@uSgebengu: Yekani lendaba yokufakana nezithombe zeyntombi kuma avi, nizophoxeka ekugcineni.”

“@uSgebengu: When @lindarni has nice tweets it means he's having problems in his relationship, stay woke tweeps.”

“@skwaya4higher: Ndarni is a player so she knew it wouldnt last”

“@MarvinManele: So I guess Lindarni won't be making his Sheppie trips anymore :(”

It's not funny at all some of us were really upset 

“@Lungy_Reloaded: Hawu shame pakithi uLindarni”

“@Lungy_Reloaded: 3 Oomfs ended their relationships this month. Y'all are boring me. For real”

“@Spar_Letta: @lindarni *hugs* yo'all were really adorable.”

“@I_am_penene: Lol I have to say Lindarni loved his girl shame, It was cute I was so jealous, inhliziyo beyithi "Kuyophela Sofana”

“@Mongezi__: 😒 Lindarni yasishayashaya. Why isn't he sad or mad...”

Others over analyses the situation 

“@S_boh: Shit happens RT @Nomah_M: But that girl was so "clingy, psycho girlfriendie" I wasn't expecting this”

This is upsetting, a break up is never cute now Lindani will go on to hurt other girls because of Zama, I hope he is strong. He promised us a statement but was later not available to make one. 

“@lindarni: Anyway. I'll release the statement at 2 via @BTNews_ so i can end all the speculation 😂”

That's it, we are deeply saddened, we thought we were gon get our first twitter wedding from them. 
 

Twitter Relationships

Black Twitter is slowly catching up with Facebook, love birds all over the TL but since black twitter is mean, people outchea are unkind. Saturday morning I chose to wake up early and catch up with my TL because I normally miss morning twitter because I have sleeping problems. It was a smooth morning until our favorite twitter relationship announced that they are meeting the boyfriends parents, the girlfriend that is. However the girlfriend Teegan requested us to leave her name out of our tweets and that's fine they are happy and we don't give a fuck about happy people, we love sad people but the boyfriend Thabo was not available.

Fine, Saturday morning @ThatoMathe shortly after the "I am meeting the parents" tweets from Teegan she tweeted
 

“@ThatoMathe: Thabo and Teegan are gonna bring us the 1st twitter wedding...”

“@ThatoMathe: Nomcc and Morena are bringing the 1st twitter baby...”

Well, that's really funny but Thato is shading, what is she suggesting? That Nomcebo and Morena will have a baby before getting married? I'm asking. Nomcebo saw this and got really annoyed at the fact that she didn't say "1st Baby" but "Twitter Baby", it is also puzzling to me but I really wouldn't get mad. 


“@ThatoMathe: One day RT @Nom_CC: What nonsense is this? "@ThatoMathe: Nomcc and Morena are bringing the 1st twitter baby..."”

Ms. Mathe is a troll, she still stands strong by her point, and that actually made Nomcebo really mad and she went on a mini "Twitter" rant defending her real life relationship however the boyfriend was not there to help her through it, I think he deactivated for the bae. But knowing Morena, he wouldn't keep quiet too, he is very vocal which is why I think him and Nomcebo really belong together and they are really cute. 



“@Nom_CC: Man its too early for nonsense hey”

“@Nom_CC: First of all what is a twitter baby nje?”

She's asking really valid questions but I believe some things explain them self, however @2uli had all the answers 


“@2uli: When a twitter (tweleb) couple have a baby together. "@Nom_CC: First of all what is a twitter baby nje?””

Thuli adding salt to the wound and Nomcebo went on...

 “@Nom_CC: Whats a twitter couple? "@2uli: When a twitter (tweleb) couple have a baby together. "@Nom_CC: First of all what is a twitter baby nje?”"”

“@Nom_CC: Last time I thought a twitter couple was people calling each other twifey and twubby, just in an online relationship. It has changed?”

“@Nom_CC: People dating in real life, like the rest of the population. How the hell are they still a twitter couple?”

“@Nom_CC: A twitter baby must be a twitter cyborg coz ain no way a baby I carried for 9months, delivered like a normal person is called a twitter baby”

“@Nom_CC: Yall stop right there with nonsense and stupidity”

“@Nom_CC: We had a twitter wedding, twedding with Page and Reebony! Don't be reducing other people's real weddings to twitter nonsense”

“@Nom_CC: It was bearable but annoying when it was just twitter couple but twitter baby? No, stop right there with the tomfoolery”

“@Nom_CC: Twitter sex. Twitter hug. Twitter cuddling. Twitter PDA. Twitter meet-the-parents. Hah lmao twitter logic though”

Nomcebo has a point but we will not completely disregard the fact that we have twitter jargon and I doubt this would be stretched this far if it was taken as a joke. We have accepted the OOMFing word without a fight though it sounds stupid but it is fun, fucking followers is a trend and twitter online dating can be fun too without thinking it's stupid though at the back of your mind you know all these phrases are stupid. But knowing Thuli and Thato as trolls of note they had the whole morning to educate Nomcebo to clear the most and she knew exactly what they meant but she just kept poking and we know when you do that on Black Twitter you are opening a can of worms for yourself. 

“@ThatoMathe: You and Mo RT @Nom_CC: Whats a twitter couple? "@2uli: When a twitter (tweleb) couple have a baby together. "@Nom_CC: First of all what”

“@ThatoMathe: We know,but yall met on twitter :/ RT @Nom_CC: @ThatoMathe @2uli im not in a twitter relationship, I am in a real life relationship.”

“@2uli: Twitter couple,abantu abajolayo kwa twitter. Is this hard to digest?”

“@Nom_CC: @ThatoMathe @2uli so? A couple that met at a club is a club couple that gonna have a club baby and a club wedding? Smh”

“@2uli: Twitter couples = y'all met la online. Few RT's,DMs,met .. . Then boom niyajola.”

“@2uli: You know how fun it is when you laughing at your TL and he's laughing at his. Twitter couple things 😂”

“@2uli: We never said there was anything wrong with dating kwa twitter .. . I mean hello 😕.”


“@Nom_CC: Amasimba lawo "@ThatoMathe: Okusalayo yall met on twitter and to us yall will always be a twitter couple... Ningazoba serious la””


Well it escalated and it is still unnecessary but they seemed to be enjoying it. I don't see anything wrong, it's like when you are being called a "High School Sweetheart". If it is this hard for Nomcebo to admit that she is a twitter relationship can you imagine how hard it is for her to tell people how her and Morena met? Surely it's hard. I know it's hard for me to tell people I met my boyfriend on twitter because they don't understand, I guess we will explain on our twitter wedding and stuff during speeches. 3rd parties where here to make it all fun 


“@Grapevine__: Umjolo umjolo nje  ukuthi shlanganephi kungenaphi @2uli: Twitter couple,abantu abajolayo kwa twitter. Is this hard to digest?"”


“@Dee_Lep: I'd embrace it yaz"@2uli: Embrace the twitter couple title 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂."”

“@Mahoota11: 😂😂 RT @Intemnandi When we know eerthang bout your relationship coz you tweet errthang, you are a twitter couple. Twitter bible Lol”

“@IamKagi_STYLES: Of course it is offensive! 😂 “@OfentseZA: I would take offense if I was called a "twitter couple" but hey that's just me””


“@Md_Oooh: Yes RT @OzzaT_: I bet u a relationship sparked from that numbers game yday...So numbers couple...”


“@S_boh: Lol RT @uGugu_oWhite: Deactivating "@Intemnandi: If twitter friendships are ended by blockings, how are twitter relationships ended?"”

“@ItuMaredi: TEARS"@Nom_CC: Sgangeni couple that gonn have a sgangeni baby and sgangeni wedding "@StuntMurphy_: So if we met esgangeni what are we?""”


And then others applied brains to the situation and emotions. 

“@MsShaneSK: Entlek le tlwaele Nomcebo. Le bua sixty fela. Nka roga motho. A le swabe. Sies.”

“@LesibanaMakgai: I don't give a shit about where we met slong keo vrostana then re grand... Some of y'all met ko di funeraleng & that's ok”


“@OfentseZA: And you can't jola because of twitter that's stupid”

“@OfentseZA: I don't think people jola because of twitter, people jola because they like each other & that fact alone makes where they met irrelevant!!”

Ofeezy won twitter, it is indeed irrelevant but I do believe Thuli and Thato didn't wanna cause malice but that's just me. Twitter is never happy about anything and if you listen to them you'll live a sad life, they make fun of everything hence I can never take them seriously.

Gays Like These

I'm taking you on a trip to #GeighTwitter, it should be fun though I'm weary of the slander that'll come with this report but I really don't give a rats ass. To those who are not aware, Black Twitter sub disciplines go beyond Cool Twitter, Elite Twitter, Kindergarten Twitter and Konscious Twitter, until you find yourself in all of them then you ain't playing twitter right.  I find myself dangling in all of them and I am blessed to have direct links to those I'm not big on like Elite twitter of @Sentletse, Konscious twitter of Ntsiki Mazwai and Kindergarten of.... (Lol I'm not gon say, no one wants to be referred to as childish) but the most fascinating of them all has to be Geigh Twitter, I swear chill is a rumour that side. 


Beef has been brewing that side for a while now but it all became apparent when a prominent gay brigade went on Friends Like These, yes DJ Sbu's friends like these. We all know how it works, you bring 5 friends, you play nonsensical games against a group of the opposite sex, a group that wins the games the move to questions what not where Sbu asks them questions to test their friendship. In this case, the gay brigade went against the Kong Brigade. The Kong Squad is a group of club ambassadors/promoters, these girls are big for being supposedly pretty, living lavishly and calling other kids ugly. I do not know where they come from as they just bloomed on my TL from nowhere and now everyday is a Kong Girl's day. 


It seems the gay brigade is close to that group of girls hence they went together to play against each other and we often see them in pictures together so we can safely assume that they are all friends. Who are these people? 

The girls 
1. @Stephy_Leong
2. @nos_mtshali
3.  @Khutz100
4. @tinker_bella_
5. @Muzi_Z

That is the pretty girls squad, I am not familiar with the TinkerBella character, she must be the Latoya of the group, we now the loud mouths Stephy, Nos and Khutz, they never fail to upset Black Twitter by bragging with their vanity. From what I gather, Muzi is actually chilled, she never lands on my TL with BS. 

The Gays 
1. @brendboh
2. @_MphoRanko
3. @Vusi_Nerdyshian
4. @_KaraboNYC
5  @Muzi_Z

That's the gay brigade, you'll mostly be familiar with Karabo, he is known to brag ngo 0, all the damn time, he is cute shem yena but I'm convinced he has major problems or some disorder, I've been observing him a lot and he tries so hard to live large but that's not why we here or he is features here. Vusi, Vusi, Vusi!!! He is the hottest of them all, I always see him on my TL but not for something worth bitching about, he is really good looking, if this is ass licking then I'm guilty. Well Muzi made it to the list again, I don't know the 5th member of this group but according to the pictures Muzi was on both sides. Brendboh and Mpho are unknown, it was my first time learning about them. 


Now for the big story, I don't know how these people think, I don't think we are allowed to give details of a show before it airs but these human beings must have missed that lil detail. So it happened that the Gay brigade made it to the question stage of the show, they got all the answers right except for @_MphoRanko and when they were asked if they wanna take him with they said no and apparently that did not sit well with this guy and the other members did not make things easy on the guy. So yesterday if I'm not mistaken, @_KaraboNYC posted a pic of the Gay Team and someone said something about this Mpho character being the Michelle of the group, we saw the pic and we can also confirm that he is indeed the Michelle of the group. 


The guys kept rubbing salt to the poor guys wound and throwing shade (acting in a casual or disrespectful manner towards someone/dissing a friend) at him. 

“@_MphoRanko: Never again will I do any favor for any1 coz , they smile in your face behind your back a knife goes in deep down 💔💔💔💔”

“@_MphoRanko: “@Vusi_Nerdyshian: when Karabo said the #PoorMichelles and #PoorLatoyas shall be left on em seats, like why though” we'll life is a bitch”

“@_MphoRanko: Why are you sending tweets indirect , cowards 😏😏😏😏 just man up you got balls and come direct 😏😏😏😏😏😏”

“@Vusi_Nerdyshian: Dude!!! These Warthogs "@HRH_Bukhosi: U can never confirm gheis..today u are hoe & tomorrow u are a darling.."”

“@_MphoRanko: @Vusi_Nerdyshian I'm sure he was referring to me n Thobani , yet we saved his ass , black people can never be grateful 👏👏👏👏👏”


“@brendboh: Mpho just wants acknowledgment from Karabo, but Karabo on the other hand?! 😂 Mpho's tweets :-(”

“@_MphoRanko: @brendboh @_KaraboNYC @Vusi_Nerdyshian just 2 be clear I was there 2 hav fun and I do not need any acknowledgement from any1 be clear on dat”

“@_MphoRanko: @brendboh I knew wat kind of a person I was dealing with @_KaraboNYC ain't really buddy buddies so no tym to pretend about it 😏😏😏”


“@_MphoRanko: “@brendboh: Karabo and Mpho beef 😂😭😂.” No beef here but I ain't no coward I do not hide how I feel about a person , I made my point clear 😏”


“@_MphoRanko: I tolerate you @_KaraboNYC not that I benefit from it and I won't pretend hey let's just be clear 😏😏😏😏”


“@Khutz100: @_MphoRanko @_KaraboNYC why were you there yesterday if you just tolerate Karabo?”


“@_MphoRanko: @Khutz100 remember wen the ashing story came up I told you why I was there and again I mad it clear to u how I feel !!!”

Well I like Mpho he been catching all the subtweets directed to him and responding accordingly, it takes balls. Not only did Mpho get left behind, he got ashed by one of the girls, for what I don't know and why he didn't kick someone's ass asazi. 


“@Stephy_Leong: He was annoying me so I ashed his face. Lmao 😳😳😳😳”

Look at this shit? She ashed on Mpho's face? Mature is it not? These are the girls that drink your boyfriend's money and come back to brag on your TLs, your boyfriends got basic taste I must say. The plot thickens as always; 

“@brendboh: Mpho lives in a dodge area, while we were on our way to fetch him. At the robots we got in a smash & grab, they wanted to take Muzi's phone”

“@brendboh: Luckily we drove off quickly, Muzi right now doesn't have window. But Mpho thanks us like this. Where are his cars for the day? Mcim :(”

“@_whatchutolas: My good sis Brenda RISKED his LIFE going to whatever dodge surburb and yal gonna blast him on twitter???”

“@brendboh: Does Mpho understand how fucken scary those nyaope addicts are?! Like Mpho fuck you. Our lives were on the line and you thank us like this”


“@Vusi_Nerdyshian: We almost got killed Fetching Mpho and Now this what everyone gets. If he didn't want to be part of the show he could have said so though”

“@_whatchutolas: I cant believe U risked your good looks going to a dodge neighborhood sis. Im so traumz on yo behalf. @brendboh”

Wow! This is what we have become. According to these people this Mpho person stays in Barea, by the Vodacom building, all from my TL. 

“@brendboh: :-( too deep. “@Vusi_Nerdyshian: Bathi he still looks poor..Y'all are deep hey””

“@Vusi_Nerdyshian: When Sbu said brendboh and I are cuuuute..Aaawwwww”

“@Vusi_Nerdyshian: @brendboh But we really aren't his true friends babe. he said that himself.”


“@brendboh: 😂😭😂 GOODBYE “@Vusi_Nerdyshian: But we are cruel hey, and Brendon's shade in the end though....I pee'd on myself a little””

“@brendboh: people will end up committing suicide, y'all can't do this tbqh.”

Brendon is the father of shade, he instigated this whole thing. 

“@brendboh: @_KaraboNYC > Karabo are you aware you broke Mpho's heart? 😭”

“@_MphoRanko: “@Khutz100: Imagine someone ashed on your face 😭😭😭😭😭” we'll it happens people without home training hey 😏😏😏”

“@_MphoRanko: “@_Paul_williams: Nawe @_MphoRanko u like things!!!” Sorry Paul u not gonna tell me what and what not to do with my life let's be clear 😏😏😏”

“@_Paul_williams: @_MphoRanko Awww suka, see wher u at nw? Mxim! Kanti! Stay like that boo.”

“@_MphoRanko: @_Paul_williams sorry I don't know why you in this whole issues , can you do me a fav and leave me alone !!!!”


“@_MphoRanko: To be honest I often wonder @_KaraboNYC wat goes thru your mind wen you behave the way you do ???”

I also would like to know, not in a shade point of view but psychological point of view. 


“@brendboh: We were so happy izolo yazi, we dropped Mpho off. Yho kanti it was like this after everyone went home.”

“@Muzi_Z: Like?! RT @brendboh: @_MphoRanko > you nasty biiish. why can't you direct this to Karabo alone?””

Mpho tried to redeem himself, 

“@_MphoRanko: You know wat ain't gonna look for fame on twitter or try to be recognized on twitter I am not about shading here I just speak my mind 😏😏😏😏”

“@_MphoRanko: I think people feel like they did me a fav by being on this show we'll he'll no !!!!!”

“@Gomotsegang_M: @_MphoRanko you should just find his real friends boo. You won't have to deal with what you are dealing with now... Just a friendly advice”

“@_MphoRanko: @Gomotsegang_M I have my friends hey and surely those u won't find on my timeline trying to belong 😏😏😏”

“@Gomotsegang_M: You won't see Vusi, Muzi and Brendon fighting. Those are real friends. Now the "Extras" are twaring *Rolling Eyes*”

The tweet above suggests that Karabo is also an extra, together with Mpho. Though Karabo looks hot and Mpho least hot but has a lot of followers than everyone on this report. It was Mpho against the world, followers mean nothing it seems. 

“@_KaraboNYC: Then why did he linger around after that ? "@brendboh: so like Mpho is actually touched he got left behind?! 😫 I'm asleep to his vent"”

“@brendboh: I'm actually glad we left Mpho. I felt bad kanti he was ready to fire while we were in studio.”

“@ZweliKing: So ya'll left him ???? U going to the cruise and you left him? 😂😂 akuHard”

“@_TSHEPI_: Mpho's refusal to be reduced to victim status, punching bag with arms to swing back”


“@Leloe_M: the sad thing is that it reflects to everyone single one of them. All of them. It says a lot about all of them.”

“@Muzi_Z: He was ready be4 ANY OF US!! RT @_KaraboNYC: He is, I was gonna shut up but "@brendboh: Mpho is actually pissing me off."””

“@Muzi_Z: Elbows RT @tinker_bella_: Poor michelle 😴"@brendboh: so like Mpho is actually touched he got left behind?! 😫 I'm asleep to his vent"””

Oh hey, look our TinkerBella can tweet :-D and she's the Latoya of her group but I'm sleep though, just don't throw stones when you live in glass house, you can't be beautiful by association. 

“@_MphoRanko: @Muzi_Z you not even involved dear I got nothing against you not even once did u say any nasty shit like the rest 😊😊😊”

Lmao Mpho, dear Mpho out there licking ass. 

“@_MphoRanko: @Muzi_Z it's funny how the car window issues is being thrown in my face as if I sent the guys who smashed your window 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔”

This is getting tiring, surely you'll also get to this point tired. 

“@_whatchutolas: @iDeMoore LOL, A coupla gay fake friends went on Friends Like These, now the fake has caught up...”

They added "Fake" to Friends like these.

“@_MrBentleySA: I actually asked who's gona be on the show with me when I was asked to join and nobody seemed sure. Thats when I declined.”

Mr. Bentley another gift to the gay society, why is it that all the pretty men are gay!? 😥 Lemme focus, where does he come from in all of this? It seems where Karabo is concerned Bentley has something to say, it's qiute confusing if they are friends or enemies or just frenemies. His tweet suggests that he is the one who was suppose to be there instead of Mpho, I wish it played out like that to save us from the petty-ness cause I know they scared of Bentley but are playing on Mpho's head. 

“@_KaraboNYC: @_MrBentleySA Ok, you declined cause of what ? when ? do you REALLY wanna do this ?????”

“@_KaraboNYC: LMAOOO should I screen much our WhatsApps gurl ??? @_MrBentleySA YOU AINT SHIT”

Well I guess my findings are wrong, Karabo pretty much shits on anyone. But they always troll each other, they confuse me. 

“@_KaraboNYC: You gonna piss me off boo "@_Paul_williams: That time Karabo called me at 23:50 on Sunday so that I be the 5th "frnd" ha!!!"”

I swear Karabo is Hulk. 

“@_KaraboNYC: I will actually STOP what I'm doing and make twitter lit, and munch the conversations that I had with @_MrBentleySA, athi he declined us😂”

I am actually gon stop there, but our 3rd parties deserve to shine, they make everything fun. 

“@King_Alu: Same "@LilUnstable: Bayadika nyani, I don't find it a bit entertaining but that's just me RT King_Alu: @ImKhweziN ndidikiwe zezintwana"”

“@Vejinity: Now I'm confused, the pic that started this whole thing featured Muzi. If he wasn't on the boys team who was the 5th one? *confused*”

“@_whatchutolas: Wait isnt this NYC character the one that google champagne baths?? @_MrBentleySA Tell him to google chill.”

“@Za_Maniac: Wait!  Isn't there sum clause that contestants shouldn't talk about the outcome of the show till it airs? Dnt lose up trip ova Twitter guys”


“@KhanyieMcBird: 21.5K followers and he still got left behind. Life.....”

“@ImKhweziN: also thought they aren't allowed to talk about it. RT @LilUnstable: This episode y'all talking about hasn't even aired? Hawu......”

“@Mlenzana02: Why is geigh twitter always aflame? :(”

“@Muzi_Z: 😂 RT @TwirraKing_: :"-D RT @Vejinity:
He doesn't even fit in the pic :(””

“@ImKhweziN: Fix it Archbishop Desmond Tutu.”


Well that's it, it's a lot to take in but I hope I helped with connecting the story and you too will add your 2 cents and not be in the dark 

As BTNews I would like to say this is petty and I know I'll be criticized a lot for this, I might even be reduced to my looks or something like that but go for it folks and have a festival. God will take the wheel.

TL Friendships

Black Twitter is like our second home if not third, we have made friends, partners and enemies yet we still maintain that "It's just twitter" I beg to differ, seeing that I have a lot of time on my hands being on twitter has been a great escape and I enjoy every moment I'm on there. Twitter is a good social playground, and it has been working for the best of us however that's not why I'm here. This will go down as the longest report because it is complex and involves a lot of parties.

I try my best to make you aware of all the black twitter circles and divisions, it's easy to see that a group of people feed off the same plate. It gives me great pleasure to finally get something from We Think We Are Elite Black Twitter though it was a bit messy. That division involves the great Queen Leezus @MzLee_, one of the controversial tweeps know on Black Twitter.

I once followed @MzLee_, it was a nightmare, but I'm so cool that if we follow each other I will not unfollow, I'm polite worse I asked for a follow back when I trolled her because her Bio read "I do not follow back" to my surprise she did and I was just playing. We had a great TL relationship, RT for an RT, Mention for a Mention. I also had the pleasure to meet her 3x at the Okapi fun day but the 3rd occasion was not a pleasant one as our TL relationship had diminished by then.

At first she came across as someone who knows a lot...an anthropologist of sorts, someone with an astounding level of intellect. I once listened to her interview on SAfm and I was surprised at the level of zero she answered and elaborated on her answers. At that point I start to delve much into her TL, I realised that she isn't actually what she puts out there, she's actually shallow. It appeared that she endorsed a lot of contradictory things. And to protect herself from being pointed out as saying X and Y, she simply "retweets" whatever thing she is unsure, analyses the reaction, and formulates her opinion...so to become the one who concludes. She has mastered the art of using twitter deceptively, she RTs, RTs, RTs, analyzes reactions, formulates an opinion, and puts out a close ended statement, using Sadie and the likes as protection. Basically, she's interested in you only to enrich her opinion about current affairs. She once said " an RT does not mean you endorse it"...how? Does she not know that an RT is social currency? That an RT means you agree with the contextual product?
RTs are to twitter what money is to a consumer. Anyway...

So today black twitter had it's moment of eruption when Ntsiki Mazwai went on to correlate Black Consciousness to Weaves, I don't understand and I don't ever wanna, as we were still marinating in that debate of no substance the Queen Leezus herself thought why not throw a few shillings on the matter as she is always on Ntsiki's ass. She jumped in on the party...
