Netizens were impressed by Pop Tingz's clapback at the critic. A user praised it with a metaphorical comment.


A user suggested some innovative ideas:

"You should have replied in a week to stay on brand."

Another user remarked that there must be two clocks- the time of the updates and online judgments:

"I see two clocks."

An X-user agreed with the critic on the delay.

"But for real, y’all be posting shit that was posted by other accounts 3 days later like it’s brand new."

A netizen commented how all good things are slow and steady:

"Can’t rush greatness."

Users assured Pop Tingz that the truth was worth the wait:

"You take your time. Bring us the truth."

Another user remarked about the sassy reply to negative comments:

"Giving 'I'll get there when I get there.'"

Looks like we have some competition here, as a netizen added:

"And that’s why we use pop base."

The blunt response was the kind of drama fans needed:

"This why pop tingz are the goats."

Many countered Pop Tingz's argument by pointing out the delay:

"That’s right but ur like 2 days late on everything."

Another user added a creative take on the clapback.

"Queens work on queen time!"

An X-user claimed that it was unprofessional for one of the most-followed pages to respond to criticism in such ways:

"Unprofessional tingz."

It turns out that the page has quite some fans to support them.

"Ignore them! I love your account!"

X-pages that share updates on pop culture are usually one of the most-followed handles. The controversial take by Pop Tingz ignited quite a buzz, enhancing its popularity.
