Former Orlando Pirates striker Kermit Erasmus angrily took to Twitter recently to voice his opinion on certain comments that were made about him by certain media outlets. Did you see?
On Wednesday afternoon, the AFC Eskilstuna forward hit back at a South African media house that had written a story about him that he felt was misleading.
The publication had stated that Erasmus said he was "pushed out" from former club Stade Rennais, with the attacker then mentioning in a reply that he had said no such a thing.
"Funny how you trying to get views on your site by writing something I never said, that's why I don't speak to anybody in Media from South Africa. I know I'm regarded as a big player back home but that don't give u the right to write s**t I didn't say," he wrote in a reply.
He later asked the publication to remove the article as he felt they had twisted his words.

If i didn’t do an Interview with u as a media outlet don’t take my interviews and put it on your pages and twist my words. I take pride in what i say in my interviews coz its my words and when u twist them and write what i didn’t say we goin to have a problem.
