Dineo Ranaka hits back at comments about weight

Briefly News previously reported that radio and TV personality Dineo Ranaka went viral after a video of her TikTok live session made rounds on Twitter. An unwarranted comment from her followers who tuned into her live session on TikTok really set Dineo Ranaka off.

It was one comment in particular which had her fuming. A user noted how much smaller Dineo appears. Of course, the comment was shared in a nasty manner, and Ranaka took it exactly how it was intended.

While in the studio, Ranaka came for the rude comment again. The radio personality went off on men in general who push their preferences onto women, saying enough is enough
