"Zee Nxumalo needs to end this 3-step gimmick and make serious bangers like Funk55 again."
The SAMA nominee did not let it slide. Her response was short, sharp, and to the point:

The reaction online was far from unanimous. Some fans rallied behind Zee, while others used the moment to air their own frustrations about her recent moves in the industry.
@KrugerUtdfc had some fun with the drama:
"Lmao love how you just went to the comments and saw that everyone stands with you. Picked your fav comments and used it here 🔥😂❤️ Harrrraapp harrrrappp asamben!!"
@Khathu_10 threw their weight behind Zee's Lekompo era:
"Tell them you cooked on Lekompo. We're still waiting for a better Lekompo song than Rato Laka 🙌😭"
Not everyone was so supportive. @iam_FortuneM noted:
"You guys are very selective……"
@jawnnycee defended the fan's original point, writing:
"Sgidongo is better than anything you've ever made."
@Deep_Dive_GP went a step further, bringing Zee's public appearances into the mix:
"Please stick to music and stop attending useless Durban awards that are made for Tira and Mgilane; we just can't take you seriously anymore!"
