*15-year-old Marsai Martin is showing how adept she is with her clap back game.
On Sunday, the co-star of “Black-ish” took to her social media accounts to respond to a slew of not-so-nice comments regarding her BET Awards look, as some made fun of her blonde hair and “veneers,” which were actually clear, removable braces.
Sorry some of y’all don’t like my hair. Or teeth … which are my actual teeth btw. Good thing I don’t put my effort into trying to please everyone. I like it. Chile I’m 16 this year, let me live. I’m trying to stay sane in quarantine. Enjoy the #BETAwards ?

But she really shut down the haters when she posted her Instagram Story.
Feigning tears, she began, “A lot of people have been talking about my hair and how it looks like a grandma’s wig.”
“And they’re talking about my veneers — and this don’t look like a veneer to me,” she added while pulling out the removable braces.
Pouring on the emotion, the actress continued, “It’s hard, it’s difficult. But I’m sorry to anyone I offended or haven’t gotten to your expectations of how I’m supposed to be and I apologize.”
and then she switched up and delivered the dagger with …
“Chile I’m 16 this year, let me live. I’m trying to stay sane in quarantine. Enjoy the #BETAwards.”
