Two entertainment divas had it out on social networking site Twitter, with much excitement from their audience.

YFM DJ and TV presenter Dineo Ranaka and British singer Estelle exchanged words for about an hour early yesterday, with South Africans defending Ranaka, while people around the world lashed out at her.

Estelle, 30 - known for her hit American Boy, featuring rapper Kanye West - has almost 110000 Twitter fans.

Updating her status at about 1am, she said: "I absolutely feel like myself today. #thasall."

Ranaka, 26, who has more than 7900 Twitter fans, quipped: "It's confusing feeling like #John Legend sometimes isn't it? I understand".

Estelle lashed back, going to the extreme of blocking Ranaka from accessing her tweet.

"I was just joking I had no mean intentions, just humorous, I'm not offended by her blocking me just saddened by her lack of humour," wrote Ranaka.

Estelle had made up her mind: "If ure going to shade try harder:) That was weak. #blocked"

Ranaka had the last word: "Exactly. Its just twitter So don't be offended now ure blocked. bye bye."
