Her Twitter post read:
"@FNB, your service has deteriorated!! SMH."
B's followers could not have guessed that Capitec, ranked sixth among South Africa's biggest banking institutions, would jump at the opportunity to take a swipe at one of the country's biggest emerging digital retail banks.
Capitec was not too far behind in noting B's post but, instead of taking a subliminal dig at FNB, the retail bank aimed their attention elsewhere before pulling the trigger.
"Don't waste your Thyme B, come Live Better with us!" the tweet responding to B's post read.
TymeBank, in turn, ensured they would not be left silent on the matter and returned packing fire if the response on their official Twitter page is anything to go by.
The reply read:
"Ya'll decided to reply 6 hours later, vele? @CapitecBankSA, was the queue that long?"
Fans roll on the floor laughing
B's followers had a field day reacting to the scenes playing out among the banks and took to her mentions to share in the laughs. Below are some of the most hilarious comments to the tweet.

"@tymebankza are on some Vodoo. FNB to TymeBank pay and clear immediate. FNB to other Banks 1 - 2 hours. What deals did these guys make? Remember to switch off SMS notifications for TymeBank and only use in-app notifications."

Bonang admits Big Zulu swept her off her feet at Riky Rick's memorial
In other entertainment news, Briefly News previously reported that Riky Rick's memorial service at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg was a star-studded affair as the who's who of SA's colourful entertainment industry gathered to bid adieu to one of their own.
Media personalities and performers, some of whom had not so much as crossed paths before, exchanged words and forged new bonds amid the fanfare. Bonang, in her case, grabbed the headlines for looking sensually stylish in the royal blue designer luxury Gucci ensemble she styled for the event.
But she had more than just the heads of her B-Force turning as her noticeable presence also drew the attention of a certain proud Zulu rapper. That's right – B and "Ibhinca", Big Zulu, were seen enjoying a moment together right before the artist took to the stage to honour the original cotton eater.
