Julius Malema and musician Ntsiki Mazwai lit up Twitter on Sunday night with an explosive feud, which saw Ntsiki threatening to walk away from the EFF and Julius calling the muso a "failed poet".
The trouble started when Ntsiki apparently tweeted that she would "pass on the EFF" if the party was being made all about Julius.

The politician hit back, saying that he didn't need an endorsement from a "failed poet" and suggested that Ntsiki was obsessed with him.
I don't need an endorsement of any failed poet to succeed, politics is my game & I know it. At least I'm good at what I'm doing unlike you— Julius Sello Malema (@Julius_S_Malema) July 23, 2017
Tweeting about Juju all the time & not about your work or profession, as if Julius is your job description. I don't need you or ur friends— Julius Sello Malema (@Julius_S_Malema) July 23, 2017
Ntsiki claimed that Julius was a fan of her work and didn't think she was a "failed poet when she performed for the party at their May Day concert earlier this year.

Julius claimed he sent the same message to all of the performers at the event and accused Ntsiki of being a "pretentious mole".
I never thought showing respect to an artist will mean your life depends on them, the DM was send to all artists on that day by the way— Julius Sello Malema (@Julius_S_Malema) July 23, 2017
I don't need you or your poetry to succeed, that's all I'm saying. Our life depends on EFF members and supporters not supporters wanna be— Julius Sello Malema (@Julius_S_Malema) July 23, 2017

Fighters, we must know our friends and not be part of the pretentious moles.— Julius Sello Malema (@Julius_S_Malema) July 23, 2017
Ntsiki wasn't taking any of it lying down and fired back at Julius, telling fans that he was worse than Zuma and was just angry because she was more qualified than him.
