Pearl Thusi and Friends

Pearl is one who loves to keep her friends close and is not shy to show how much she appreciates them.

Pearl Thusi took time to gush about her friend Nomuzi Mabena in a sweet social media post.

She listed all the qualities that she adored in her BFF dating from the first time they met till now.

“Hi, Nomuzi… @moozlie. I know you have no clue about how much I care for you. I’ve loved you and your energy since I first saw you. The way you smile, how sweet and badass you are at the same time,” she wrote.

Pearl also went on to admire her hard work and her energy, praising her contribution to the entertainment space and always keeping it real.

“How hard you work, how hard you love. I can’t wait for the day you truly realise how incredible you are. I know you feel it but I can’t wait till you love it and live it. In the way, I see you but most importantly, the way God sees you.” Pearl says.

Pearl Thusi and her best friend DJ Zinhle are also practically joined at the hip. They became closer in 2015 after Zinhle’s baby daddy AKA left her for Bonang Matheba. Zinhle even moved in with Pearl while her mansion was being built in 2017. The DJ joked that Pearl practically forced her to move into her house.

“I didn’t have a home, I was homeless and she was in New York and she literally forced me to move into her house and I was really uncomfortable but she was like, I’m not hearing it you’re moving to my house, so I moved with my nanny, my baby, everything into her house.” Zinhle said on Cannel O’s Top 5 Drive.

AKA on assaulting late Anele – I am not a preparator of GBV

AKA finally speaks out through his legal team on accusation of assaulting his late fiancée, Anele Nelli Tembe.
 

The rapper plainly said the photos and videos that went viral on social media didn’t detail the full event.

Supa Mega distanced himself from Gender Based Violence and in an official statement shared by TshishaLive, he promises to answer every query.

Rudolph Baloyi, senior associate at Mabuza Attorneys said:

“Mr Forbes takes the current events playing out since this past Sunday seriously. It is regrettable that he and his brand are now associated with GBV. However, he assures his fans and the public that he is not a perpetrator of GBV. In due time he will respond fully to all questions and queries. Currently, the situation is heavy on him and his family as a whole.”

“It is also difficult to deal with public outcry and condemnation on social media. The screenshots from an unreleased video seen over the past weekend online are not a true reflection of the alleged situations that arose on the day.”

AKA still loves his late fiancée according to a statement published last Saturday; he said he’s not a suspect, rather a witness.

Meanwhile a GBV organisation have called out people and streaming platforms to mute the rapper’s song in other to get justice for Anele Tembe.
