Within minutes, the post spread like wildfire across multiple social media platforms, forcing a swift and incredibly raw response from The Woman King star.

Known for keeping her personal life completely locked away from the public eye, Thuso stunned fans by replying directly under the troll's original post. Clearly exhausted by fake news, the 34-year-old actress delivered a blunt, legendary one-liner.

"Unyoko loyo."

The classic Zulu insult instantly sent the timeline into fits of laughter, with fans praising the actress for choosing violence to protect her peace.

On the other side of the camp, DJ Sbu initially ignored the noise entirely on Monday, spending his day engaging with Bafana Bafana and FIFA World Cup content. However, the MoFaya founder couldn't stay quiet forever. In the early hours of Tuesday, 16 June, he took to X to drop a cryptic quote.

"Even when people lie, the people know the truth."

The stars are known for keeping their romantic life private, remaining heavily focused on major career milestones that continue to cement their legacies

DJ Sbu recently made waves across the financial and entertainment sectors after revealing that he was once offered a staggering R1 billion for his energy drink brand, MoFaya.

Meanwhile, Thuso Mbedu has been trending for her global achievements, recently opening up about her experience working on Children of Blood and Bone, a highly anticipated, star-studded Hollywood film featuring Regina King, Damson Idris, and Amandla Stenberg, set to premiere in March 2027.
