Ntsiki Mazwai has ruffled more than a few feathers in the entertainment industry, but she has kissed and made up with at least one star.
The controversial poet took to Twitter to share a picture of herself and Dineo Ranaka.
“Life after Twars,” she captioned the image.

While Ntsiki was all smiles in the pictures, she wasn’t smiling when she was engaged in a heated twar with Dineo in 2015.
The drama started when Dineo made a comment about women wearing weaves. The media personality expressed that she was tired of the weave vs natural hair discussion, which she described as boring.
Enter Ntsiki…

The outspoken poet got wind of Dineo’s remarks and decided to weigh in on the discussion. She interpreted Dineo’s tweets to mean that not wearing a weave can make you look dirty.
“When a SA ‘Role Model’ says not wearing a weave means you are dirty! Lol! Dineo Ranaka tho……….take your meds!” she tweeted.

Dineo reportedly clapped back by making a remark about Ntsiki’s hygiene.
“My hygiene is spoken off by people I don’t even know……just coz I hate weaves! Lol! That time it’s weaves that lack hygiene,” Ntsiki fired back.
She added in a separate tweet: “Instead of worrying about my hygiene u shud worry about your baby daddies sisi @DineoRanaka ur on number what now?”

Water under the bridge?
Some Twitter users are not buying Dineo and Ntsiki’s happy reunion.
“Dineo is pretending,” one tweep commented. Ntsiki responded to the post with several “hand over mouth” emojis – which are typically used to show surprise, shock or concern.

One Twitter user replied that celebrity twars and beefs are staged for publicity, while another tweep asked if Ntsiki liked Dineo’s weave.
Ntsiki is notoriously anti-weave. A few months ago she criticised DJ Zinhle for launching Hair Majesty.
“Imagine….. Your celebs glamorize and sell booze and foreign hair to you. Sies man,” she wrote.
“Selling weaves is no different to selling drugs. We are dealing with an addiction.”
Well, it looks like Ntsiki was able to bite her tongue about how she feels about weaves while posing for her snap with Dineo.
