Khanyi Mbau to critics: Your opinions mean nothing to me from when I dated ur fathers
Here's why Khanyi topped the trends list for most of Thursday...
Khanyi Mbau dished out major spice after she was again trolled for her "ever-changing" complexion.
While Mzansi debated claims that lighter-skinned women got more privileges, Khanyi was dragged for her complexion after posting a picture of herself with her Porsche on Twitter.

Khanyi, who has opened up before about using skin-lightening products, was dragged hard, with some even photoshopping the image to make her appear darker.
The star responded to critics by telling them that they could not control her or tell her what to do.
She added that people's opinions of her didn't change anything.
It would not be Khanyi Mbau if you didn’t get upset.
