"Wiz not winning a Grammy is just another reason I kinda don’t take the Grammys too seriously," she began her lenghty tweet.

Adding insult to injury, the 'Queen Sono' star went on to insist that true African artists don't need to be recognized by the awards body which is all about a "fun show" with "cool statues".

Naturally, South Africans felt Thusi's comments were a harsh jab at DJ Black Coffee who this week returned home with his first Grammy Award for his widely-acclaimed album, 'Subconsciously'.

Peeps took to the comments section, dragging the actress for her harsh words and entirely unprovoked comments. Some even took to shading her work as well.
