Online users shared their reactions to seeing Thuso Mbedu sporting short straight hair. The Hollywood actress has been a hot topic since the launch of her new show, Task.

A set of photos of Thuso Mbedu, done by Raul Romo, went viral on social media and inspired some hilarious commentary. The actress was compared to R&B musician Kelly Rowland.

A photo originally posted by Thuso Mbedu on Instagram ended up making rounds on X. A popular X user commented on the post, joking that she looks like Kelly Rowland. @aphelelejoy referenced a pop culture moment when Anele shared her hot take that she thinks Kelly Rowland is not pretty. The radio personality was responding to Sizwe Dhlomo's tweet in 2019 after he said Kelly Rowland was the prettiest in Destiny's Child. Anele argued that Kelly Rowland is not attractive without make-up. She wrote:

"Kelly looks amazing with make-up. Take that make-up off, then it's tickets. I have receipts."

Anele's tweet about Kelly became a running joke for over five years as people took her to task for dragging Kelly.

Thuso Mbedu finally addresses the American accent

Briefly News previously reported that actress Thuso Mbedu has finally opened up about her much-debated American accent.

In the past few years, since landing her big break in the Hollywood scene, people have been against Thuso's American accent. At some point, she clapped back at a troll who came for her, regarding the new accent.

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela posted a video of Mbedu and her Tank co-star, who is from Ireland, where they explained how they lock in on the accents.
