"Other people who were at the show didn't have that kind of response. I had people who thanked me for coming. People were saying my hair wasn't combed, I don't comb my hair, I don't own a comb."
She went on to say that society puts pressure on artists:
"If it were up to me, I would get on stage naked. This thing has got to stop, I'm an artist. For every artist, this thing about how you must look and present yourself, I believe that we've come very far to be worrying about how we look on the red carpet."

Amanda Black's message went into one ear and came out the other because netizens did not hear what she was saying to defend herself.
Previously, the singer ranted about COVID-19 influencers and received backlash from netizens.
MmatlouLebogang said:
"She looks like she has given up on herself, even in the video, taba yagage ha ena letswai."
Zenzele_Enhle criticised Amanda:
"The response was too long, but still dololo on point. Actually it was never about her hair but cleanliness as a whole."
DeenickJ responded:
"She said a whole bunch of nothing if you ask me."
Mrs_Smale commented:
"Haaii haaiii haaiii, being an artist doesn’t mean you should go on stage looking like you're cleaning your house, there’s no excuse for looking dirty."
On the other hand, there were very few netizens who understood her point, saying they only care about the music:

"If she comes to a performance with a live band and sings well, I wouldn't even care what she looks like."
