Celebrity friendships are a good thing to see but there is something about Pearl Thusi's friendship with Emtee - we just can't put our finger on it. One thing we do know, is that they care deeply for one another and are not afraid to show it.
Pearl Thusi scored herself a date with Twitter's most famous serial dater, Michael Bucwa, AKA Mr. SMEG. But fans expressed concern over Emtee saying he made a whole hit song about Pearl Thusi, named Pearl Thusi and even featured Pearl herself, but all he got was a shoutout and a friendship, not even a date.
Now, we know the fan was trolling because they added that the Manando hitmaker did not even get a hand shake.
“Once upon a time someone even realise a song called “Pearl Thusi” but didn’t even get a date, not even a hand shake, oww poor @emteerecords,” said the tweep.
She said Emtee invited her to a plane after she attended a gig and also made sure that she got home safely. She said this was so gentleman like of him.
The tweep was commenting under Pearl's tweet which announces Mercedes Benz as their partner to escort them to their #nationaldate.

The two always defend each other especially on social media against trolls. Emtee made it known that he will never stop singing or rapping about Pearl, "I’m gonna rap/sing about Pearl till my dying days." he said.
Peal Thusi gets dragged on social media countless times, but Emtee does not want people to talk bad about her and so he told them to never speak bad about Pearl, because s*** will hit the fan.
The last time she got dragged on social media was when she laughed at an "inside joke" made by her date for this Saturday. Michael is known for calling women beautiful and often shoots his shot, but when it came to Ari, he said she is not beautiful and that caused Pearl to laugh. This after the songstress called South Africans peasants.
Pearl made it clear that her laughing does not mean she agrees with was being said, she still caught some heat from Tweeps and it was not good.
Pearl then got labelled a colourist because she laughed at a dark skinned woman being told she is not beautiful, by a light skinned man. Pearl's tweet The comments were not good:
"Pearl Thusi (a committed colourist) who claimed colourism doesn't exist and neither does light skin privilege. Is laughing at a 'joke' made by a light skinned man who became famous because of a kettle, saying that a dark Skinned Ari is not beautiful."
"Light-skinned Pearl Thusi participating in the cyber-bullying of a dark-skinned woman is so on brand and pathetic. Starting the year off with peak pick-me energy. Honestly, fuck these misogynistic colourist influencers."
"Me, I have had it with y'all! is Pearl Thusi the only South African woman who is light skin??? I mean really! This is really getting boring wtf!! Always Pearl Thusi this Pearl Thusi that...y'all who always go on about her skin, should just drink water and relax!"
