Queen B said: “They call me Block-ang, I don’t like to argue with people, I don’t like dilo tse snaaks, loosely translated, ‘I don’t entertain negative energy, I would rather block you’. Those things really hurt me...I have 3.3 million (now 3,5m) followers on Twitter, I’ve got 2.7 milliom (now 2.9m) followers on Instagram, and 1.7 on Facebook, imagine all of that, so I have to try to keep away ‘’not so nice’ from me as much as possible.
“Sometimes when you’re quiet, people think you’re stupid, so every now and then, I need to remind people that I’m nice but I’m not stupid, and I don’t take nonsense.”
