After Thuso responded to a Twitter user @JustKiingza who said she should stop trying to sound American, fans continued to argue against him. When the tweep insisted that other major stars, Trevor Noah, did not change their accents, peeps wholeheartedly disagreed.

The actress' fans argued that she is not pretending to sound a certain way and that it resulted from where she is. Others thought that how she sounded made her more marketable globally, the same as Charlize Theron and Nasty C did.

"Nah, maybe his [Trevor Noah] pronunciation is different but he hasn't changed his accent."

@Mceey_One4 commented:

@MfanaKaMsheng commented:

"Same reasons why Nasty C raps the way he raps and the same reasons Vusi Thembekwayo talks the way he talks. It is all about the audience..not to sound too Western."
