Our girl Amanda Black finally shot back at spicy online users who criticised her appearance at a show. Much like her natural look from the performance, the singer visited Mo Flava on 947 rocking her natural hair in a video posted by Meshack Bevhula saying she was shocked at the negative responses:
"Other people who were at the show didn't have that kind of response. I had people who thanked me for coming. People were saying my hair wasn't combed, I don't comb my hair, I don't own a comb."She went on to say that society puts pressure on artists:
"If it were up to me, I would get on stage naked. This thing has got to stop, I'm an artist. For every artist, this thing about how you must look and present yourself, I believe that we've come very far to be worrying about how we look on the red carpet."Mzansi weighs in on Amanda Black's interview

"She said a whole bunch of nothing if you ask me."Mrs_Smale commented:
"Haaii haaiii haaiii, being an artist doesn’t mean you should go on stage looking like you're cleaning your house, there’s no excuse for looking dirty."On the other hand, there were very few netizens who understood her point, saying they only care about the music:
