Troll tells Lady Zamar she’s no Brenda Fassie

What started out a with a compliment from one of her fans quickly became a shade-throwing fest from another Twitter user.


Award-winning South African musician, Lady Zamar, had to set the record straight after a Twitter user accused her of comparing herself to the legendary Brenda Fassie.

What started out a with a compliment from one of her fans quickly became a shade-throwing fest from another Twitter user.

In the initial Tweet, Zamar’s fan (@4DThaLord) said: “Lady Zamar can smoke Brenda Fassie hit for hit.”

That’s when @Mcrocklets instructed Zamar to correct her followers because she cannot match Brenda.

“… you can’t even own a weekend how about a special,” said the Tweep.

The outspoken and ever eloquent Zamar didn’t even break a sweat and calmly replied: “There is nothing to correct honey.. saying you’re honoured that someone thinks so doesn’t mean I think I’m a Brenda Fassie. Too much love and respect for Brendas’s artistry… God bless her soul.”
