It has been a tumultuous couple of months for rapper Cassper Nyovest. This is as the usually outspoken Twitter personality and Hip-Hop legend has had to stay off his favourite app, Twitter, in light of the multiple tragic passings of his fellow musicians.
The episode has since been touted as one of the most in-depth and thought-provoking episodes from Penuel as Vusi discussed his sentiments about apartheid being more capable, and his sentiments on the ruling party and the state of the economy.
While it was understood that she was joking, it seems that the only person that did not understand the fact was The Black Pen. This is as he took to Twitter to share his thoughts suggesting that Pearl’s joke was disparaging and would take away from the essence of his popular and viral podcast episode.
Disappointed by Pearl Thusi asking Cassper Nyovest to get Vusi Thembekwayo & Sizwe Dhlomo to fight 💔
We need to fix the mindset of South Africans... even if it was meant as a joke, this isn't how we'll build a better nation. pic.twitter.com/5r2VTtyOSA
As such, he was reminded that this was all a joke. Moreover, even Cassper, who Pearl had asked to organise the boxing match, chose to get involved. This is as he addressed Penual with his latest meme alert letting him know that Pearl’s sentiments were not that deep.
Even Pearl took to Twitter to question why her post was shared on Twitter. Especially given the love-hate relationship that Pearl has with the app, she knows it is best to avoid sharing anything that can be misconstrued as malice on Twitter, similar to how she got dragged for filth for “laughing” at Pabi Cooper.

Pearl was bullied so much at the time that she needed to return to the app in order to share that she had called Pabi and explained herself, and that her actions were not meant with malice. As such, it is understandable why she was weary when her Instagram post was circulated on the app.
