Pearl Thusi faces backlash after comment on Thobeka Majozi’s post

Social media is ablaze following Thobeka Majozi’s emotional revelation about her past with rapper Cassper Nyovest. For the first time, Thobeka publicly addressed the heartbreak she endured after discovering Cassper’s infidelity while their son was battling cancer.

This personal moment, meant to shed light on her struggles, took an unexpected turn when Pearl Thusi’s comment on the post stirred controversy.

Among the wave of supportive comments on Thobeka’s post, Pearl chimed in with a message that instantly sparked a backlash. She wrote, “Love this for you,” seemingly referencing Thobeka’s newfound strength and her son’s cancer-free status.

However, the internet quickly erupted, interpreting her words as insensitive, with some believing Pearl was expressing approval of Thobeka enduring both her son’s illness and Cassper’s infidelity.

Among those criticising Pearl is an X user, @BafanaSurprise, who didn’t hold back, sharing:
“Meet Pearl Thusi, the dumbest woman on this planet. This is her response to Thobeka’s Instagram post about her journey with her ex-boyfriend Cassper Nyovest!”

While the majority of social media users criticised Pearl for her remark, some voices have defended the actress, arguing that her comment has been misunderstood.
