A tweet after actress Zendaya won an Emmy has left many confused and angry. Take a look at how people reacted to the tweet.

The young actress who is known for her roles in TV shows and movies, Zendaya was recently awarded Emmy in the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series category. Her role in HBO's Euphoria was well appreciated by critics and fans alike and the win just came as a cherry on top. But what left the fans and people online confused is the tweet that was made by New York Post. The post's caption read 'Biggest upset' that people took the wrong way.

Zendaya won the Emmy against popular actors like Jennifer Aniston, Laura Linney, Olivia Colman, Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh which was quite surprising in itself. Her win became history as she became the youngest actress to win the award.

The tweet garnered hate from her fans pointing out how the post fails to appreciate the young actor and her achievement. People also took time to justify the tweet and point out how an 'upset win' in sports means a surprise win and it refers to the same. They said that it indicates how Zendaya became the underdog and bagged the award against a few of the known names who were expected to win.

Here's how fans reacted to the tweet:
