Pearl Thusi Sets The Record Straight On Twitter
Pearl Thusi and Twitter trolls are the perfect example of a toxic relationship where both parties seem to not be able to live without one another. So when the “Queen Sono” lead did not engage with trolls during her latest trending session on the platform, many believed it was out of fear for her brands cancelling her, but Pearl returned with files and a lot to get off her chest- clearly, showcasing that her therapy session from earlier in the week set her free.

The first matter she addressed was that of being accused of being a transphobe “sympathiser.” In the ongoing MacG saga, Pearl was one of the celebrities to catch a stray bullet as she apparently liked a tweet allegedly siding with MacG. The matter cannot be proved since Black and Lets-Troll-Pearl-Thusi brigade were not fast enough to screenshot and drag. Therefore, the loophole allowed Pearl to keep that Lays endorsement deal, along with the ability to return to Twitter and have the last laugh on the matter.

Next she dealt with the ongoing matter of the mystery man she is dating. For years, Pearl has been at the receiving end of allegations that she is only into dating Nigerian men. The good sis might have dabbled, but the only thing we know for sure is that she has dabbled with internationals as she has admitted to the fact. However, recently Pearl took to Instagram to give her man a shout out with a post of her vanilla bae cupping her finely pedicured feet. 
After the post caught on- it was not long until trolls went in with the continued suggestion that he is another Nigerian descendant. But Pearl who was ready to shake the Twitter tables confronted the allegations and fought for her man. First, it was in the great spirit of ilwa-ntombo, by clarifying that her man is of the Caucasian drive residency. 
 

Secondly- in only what was a matter of time- Pearl took on the Buss It Challenge. The video still offered flames, but even Pearl admitted to have taken it easy on us because- she has a man. Since she has confirmed the new man and the matter of his race- not yet his nationality; it might be time for Mama Pantha to just reveal the name. 
 

To close off a series of heated tweets, Pearl again addressed the matter of her being Pearl “Unyoko” Thusi. She, as she has numerous times in the past, let it be known that she has and will only use the insult when she has been dragged ruthlessly by trolls that forget that she is a mother. Moreover, they have mothers too, so if you come for her as a mother, she will come for your mother too.
