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...



“@MzLee_: If you are pro-black and anti white, why then are you using a phone?”

That has to be her dumbest tweet ever since I blocked her, I don't even know how to unpack this tweet as it is pure bullshit, surely she was hacked or she went on to explain what she meant but her tweets were locked so we couldn't fish on the her TL for the whole thread. One response made it look even dumber;

“@OfentseZA: Because phones are made by Asians :/ "@MzLee_: If you are pro-black and anti white, why then are you using a phone?"”

Ofentse didn't even have to waste his precious data educating Leezus, I'm sure she's aware but just wanted to sound deep and she drowned. Tweeps didn't wait to make a meal out of this and to also make it personal because honestly Lee has fucked up with a lot of people but the 8000+ people that follow her and find her amazing.

“@ItuMaredi: Lmmfao buza sisi "@_Snowiie: LOL! Phones angena kuphi manje??"”

😱“@Karabo_KB: She must be losing her touch”

“@Thato_Legend: Aikhona. Le rata bohlale moo bo sa hlokahaleng hohang!”

“@_Snowiie: Bayabhora...forcing their values and opinions on us-___- "@CulpritEnter: Hayi! U can't be deep everyday. Y'all trying too hard"”

“@ItuMaredi: Watseba "@BaoKent: Le rata goi tira di cleva ka rona πŸ˜’"”

“@ItuMaredi: Lmao "@_Snowiie: That one likes acting smarter than the rest of kanti she's talking shit nje"”

Sotho Twitter was as puzzled as I was over the tweet because it's just another case of trying to be smart and it back fired. But Leezus does waste time she was aware that she's being skinned but the people know her now, they said it before she could.

“@BaoKent: O tle re blocka... Gape!”

Bao has visions or she just knows that nobody disagrees or calls Leezus off unless they wanna get blocked and it's childish of the queen to do this as she will make you feel stupid over a dumb tweet but when table turn she blocks, kanti ain't we suppose to share info without getting mad? I'm confused.

“@MzLee_ That "block" can end a friendship :)”


See, you gon deny we not a family? We know each other very well but we mize. There's it, Lee blocks and she blocks anything that comes between her and making her stupid points. It's puzzling as to how you gon block your friend because she laughed at your stupid tweet? We are friends if ubheda uyabheda bru, let's laugh about it and move the fuck on. It reminds me of what she "Blocked and Unblocked" me for, on our last encounter she felt the need to explain why she did that, I listened, I'm very polite. She said I bring people she hates on her TL, I laughed at how self centred she is, she went on to tell me a long story I didn't really care actually because I don't have time for childish people, I finished highschool in record time to avoid such petty drama and I surely passed adolescent stage.

As we were on that @_Snowie jumped something interesting that affirms how petty lil Mz Lee is. As we were just trapped in the blocking story @_Snowiie noticed that @ItuMaredi is actually laughing the loudest and this is confusing because according to @_Snowiie Itu used to be best friends with Leezus on the TL and she asked

“@_Snowiie: Why is Itu laughing at my tweet? Kanti... Wait now :/”

“@ItuMaredi: @_Snowiie lmfao who are you talking about kgane”

“@_Snowiie: Lol nevermind "@ItuMaredi: @_Snowiie lmfao who are you talking about kgane"”

Itu mized like the best of us but was poked until she give us more...

“@LocItRu: I'm so lost. Who was Itu friends with?”

“@ItuMaredi: @LocItRu Lee”
“@ItuMaredi: Bang kgabile cause sale ka tsega some shit yall once said and that was it. DONT EVER ASK ME AGAIN

“@ItuMaredi: @iamtsiki she just stopped talking to me because I LOL'd. Then I just blocked and unblocked”

“@ItuMaredi: @Mosensei that happens when the one thinks she's the boss of the world”
“@ItuMaredi: It's actually frustrating”
“@ItuMaredi: You can't laugh at them. You have to do as they expect you to. Keep your friendship babe”

“@ItuMaredi: Til she thought she was the ruler of the world and my life "@_Snowiie: Yey wena ItuMaredi , isn't this girl your friend? You used to RT”

“@ItuMaredi: I HAVE to remain friends with someone? How many other people was she friends with? Niyanya”

Creepy right?! So she just wants to be the boss of other kids? Poor Itu, it's frustrating I know. But MzLee stretched it a bit further.

“@MzLee_: That "block" can end a friendship :)”
“@MzLee_: Let me end one quick :)"”
“@MzLee_: "It's just twitter" they said....”
“@MzLee_: To comment or not to comment... That is the question....”

Hawu Leezus marora :-D she blocks kwasani, I wonder what pleasure she gets from being petty, I know it's her account and I don't care how she uses it but this is an epitome of being childish, you can make a mockery of us, nobodies but not people you consider friends. Black Twitter didn't take this lightly.

“@iamtsiki: A Twitter Block can never and should never end a friendship, if it creates beef, then ne le pretendelana”

“@iamtsiki: I didn't take offense wen Lee blocked me. I did howeva take offense wen she acted like she didnt know O & I at Liquids (I thot we wer cool).”

“@Karabo_KB: :"-D "@Mtamerri: LMAO!! HAHAHAHA "@_Spesh_: Twitter friendships smh. At a click of a button. RT @MzLee_ That "block" can end a friendship :)”

“@vnmstr: Man I’ve blocked many people. Some are blocked for being RTd onto my TL spewing vile BS. Or for thinking they’re better than others.”

“@OfentseZA: Y'll are blocked for one reason and one reason only.... don't @ me

But in the mist of all this I was really touched by the following;

“@FoxxiBee: Ndiblockiwe mntshana "@TankMots: Yini? RT @FoxxiBee: Oho wow :') Welp."”

“@FoxxiBee: You're so buck hey. Shit. "@MzLee_: Let me end one quick :)"”

“@FoxxiBee: Im amazed :') actually”

“@FoxxiBee: Ijumpile Loots "@LootLove: @FoxxiBee woah woah woah woah. nguwe lo uSubwa kangaka? O_o make me understand."”

“@FoxxiBee: It is what it is. Ndithule "@LootLove: @FoxxiBee no words. Ndaske ndatyafa. Uyaqhelwa qha."”

“@Vejinity: @FoxxiBee ndothukile maan. And okwesibini ngoku. Yakhumbula kuqala wathi uphazamile? Zange ndaxakwa yazi...”

“@FoxxiBee: @Vejinity LOL... Affirmative. Ndithule mna”

“@FoxxiBee: Is it? Hhe. Awunazo nentloni Lerato. Uyamangaza sisi. Your amnesia is on 10. Ube shap. "@MzLee_: πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ this is so funny"”

“@FoxxiBee: If andikuva, I stay clear, out your way even. Ion pretend to be grand nawe for whatever reason. Too grown for such.”

Well, I followed FoxxiBee at some point, had a disagreement she unfollowed, I didn't care I didn't like her tweets anyway (No I'm just mad she unfollowed without telling me, I thought if we follow each other you we tight). I know she was tight with Lee on the TL of course and they seemed legit. Lee is an ass actually, you don't do this to your friends, couldn't she text her privately and call her off than shitting on the TL like that? We are adults, this would've been sorted out maturely but from all this we can establish that Lee does not know the value of friendship. As females we understand each other by now and we know anything can kill friendship but to Lee a simple "lol" changes everything.

Lee was 100% wrong in what she did. She should have just blocked Foxxie and moved on, but no she just had to drop it on the TL for all to see. Problem with Lee is that she lives her life on the TL, while condemning people who do and now her real life friends suffer- double standards. Of course I don't know her from a bar of soap but she can't be acting. She seems to have multiple personalities, and I hope Sadie has nothing to do with it, because since their friendship got strong this girl been tripping.

Also @LootLove is close friend of theirs and she didn't think this is cool.

“@LootLove: Emotional intelligence is key.”
“@LootLove: That block n end a friendship behaviour shows a lack of it.”
“@LootLove: There is respect in friendship.”
“@LootLove: There is maturity in friendship.”
“@LootLove: If a friendship MUST end, cool. Disrespecting the person isn't necessary though.”

I share the same sentiments, clearly it's an in thing to give people something to talk about on your TLs. Now she affirmed @Mosensei's lil theory that we are dumb and he had a festival together with @OfentseZa.

“@Mosensei: But I thought Itu and...man I thought they was cool.”
“@Mosensei: I was told they were really close friends. So now I'm confused.”
“@Mosensei: And that's the very person she confided in? Lmmfao medi di domo mun!”

“@Mosensei: It's always funny to see girls you thought were friends turn not so cool anymore on the TL. It's fucking hilarious.”

“@Mosensei: Cos I mean, if yal gon confide in each other concerning personal shit, least you could is stay cool with each other. Nah?”

“@OfentseZA: The problem with girls is that they love "Yes" friendships...”

“@OfentseZA: You say "No" then you become the enemy, why do you think they allow each other to go out looking like shit knowing very well you dressed kak”

“@OfentseZA: They use the "friend" term loosely, I noticed that if "you're" beneficial to them then you friends, 2 minute friendships stroke their ego's”

“@OfentseZA: What kinda friends are you if your friendship is determined by a button?, I'd be worried if my "friend" is like that, y'll ain't friends mos”

Let me not get carried away with this gospel, we gave the guys more ammunition against us, we actually suck. 90% of Black Twitter drama is caused by women and it is about women, we have actually lost life.

As Black Twitter News I wish this gets sorted and yo'all move on and teach your friend manners. My trash blog is not out to get anyone and I don't have interest in your lives but your tweets, so make no mistake of thinking this is for you or about you. But I leave you with this:
Twitter Friendships Are Fickle, Don't Get Comfortable.
