Media personality Siv Ngesi has recently come under fire on Twitter when tweeps called him out on his sexuality.
The “Woman King” actor hit back after being inundated with tweets asking and demanding him to admit that he is “gay”.
While Ngesi believes he isn’t obligated to explain his sexual preference to anyone, he hit back and said: “So many of you call me gay, like it’s offensive or a dis! Please improve your attacks when you wanna fight on here!”

But the attack on Ngesi’s sexuality wasn’t just a random topic that popped up on Twitter.
Tweeps were angered by a tweet he posted which was directed at the daughter of former president Jacob Zuma.
Ngesi swore at Duduzile Zuma in a tweet he posted hours after the ANC’s 55th National Conference results at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg on December 19, where President Cyril Ramaphosa won a second term as the leader of the party.
Ngesi tweeted: “Hey msunu @DZumaSambudla, what now?”
Hey msunu @DZumaSambudla , what now ?
This sparked a twar as people went at Ngesi for his “rude” statement.

He followed up his tweet to her with: “I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, that I want to apologies to absolutely no one! @DZumaSambudla is scum of the earth! Love and respect to you all.”
