If there is one celebrity who can not seem to avoid being embroiled in social media drama, it is Pearl Thusi. The multitalented star who has been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade often finds herself in situations that open her up to being scrutinized by the public.
The star who is currently in San Francisco found herself trending after she made a comment on Pabi Cooper's Instagram post. For those who do not know who Pabi Cooper is, we will fill you in.
Pabi Cooper is one of South Africa's fastest rising stars, the starlet has many talents under her belt which include being a musician, a dancer, an mc, and even a goalkeeper. Pabi is most known for her amapiano megahit, Isphithiphithi, which features Reece Madlisa, Busta 929 and Joocy.
So back to the story, on Saturday evening, Pabi took to her Instagram to promote her business by asking promotors to book her for events, "book us abeg," she wrote to her 1,3 million Instagram followers.
As soon as Pearl saw this, she commented with laughing emojis and Pabi immediately asked her what she was laughing at. See the awkward interaction below: Instagram/@cooper_pabi
As soon as Pearl realized that her comment might have been taken out of context, she immediately went online to clear the air.
"I am going live because I have not been on Instagram the entire day, everyone thinks I am dogging Pabi Cooper and I am so sad about that," she said.
She then went on to explain how everything she does is misconstrued, "why must everything I do be taken so f****ed up, how come you guys always think I am being an a******."
Pearl also revealed that she texted Pabi," I have texted Pabi Cooper to be like, 'omg, this confusion is so sad,"
Pearl then went on to explain what was going through her mind when she made that comment, "I really thought that she is booked in Nigeria, she is killing it right now and when she worded it in a Nigerian accent, I thought she was making a joke about being booked, I thought she was kidding, I just thought she was flexing on us."

It is no surprise that people thought that the Queen Sono star was being shady, over the years, Pearl has publicly had feuds with some of her fellow colleagues including Bonang Matheba and Bonnie Mbuli.
After Bonang allegedly got assaulted by her ex Euphonik, Pearl was caught on camera allegedly siding with him because she had a fallout with her. Take a look at the video below and judge for yourself:
