Dineo Ranaka isn't someone who minces her words, especially on social media.

The radio presenter's spicy clapbacks on Twitter has resulted in some followers labelling her "rude," but she doesn't care.

Last night Dineo proved this point yet again. It all began when a tweep asked the reality TV star to buy her data.

Dineo quickly responded with an unexpected level of spice, telling the person to go to work and earn the data.

@DineoRanaka Please bless me with a 1Gig of @CellC

Twitter immediately accused her of being "unnecessarily mean and rude" but Dineo defended herself explaining that it was not her job to buy people data.

Then people will attack me and say I'm mean. I must just buy you data. Do you know how hard my kids work for kinder joy??? 😕😧

The radio DJ added that she's got a job to do so people must stop sending data requests her way.
