DJ Zinhle backs Pearl Thusi following a colorism TWAR
Pearl Thusi can be titled the queen of Twars. The star has been constantly criticized for various things and now she has been said to only get gigs because of her skin color.
The actress did not take this well at all and all this chaos comes after, she took to social media on Wednesday after someone name-dropped her in a conversation about Sho Madjozi winning a BET.
One of the comments claimed that Sho had only won the award because of her light skin and then pointed to Pearl as an example of another celeb who had attained success only because she had a light complexion.
“If she (Sho) were dark, no one would entertain her talent, which is not really there, to begin with, if you think about it. Just like my homegirl Pearl Thusi = no talent,” wrote the user.
Pearl came for the user with guns blazing, she said, “And 15 years of hard work I’ve put in means jack sh*t here. It’s incredible how your entire being can all come down to your skin color. I dare them to say this about the likes of Beyonce, Diana Ross, Angela Davis. As if there wasn’t an Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone or Miriam Makeba.”

She continued to say, “Everyone who thinks the only merit I have in my career is skin color can all go suck it. Keep using my skin color as a comfort for your own failures. Niyanya. Tsek.”
“When people want what you have, and have no idea how you got it, they’ll find a ridiculous reason to justify their lack through something that is beyond their and your control. When you have what people want, they’ll find any reason to comfort themselves by disregarding your merit to success,” she added.
Pearl says that she has lost out to darker-skinned women and refuses to be bullied to make others “comfortable” about their own failures.
And her BFF, DJ Zinhle, backed her up. She said, “I don’t think I know anyone who works as hard as Pearl Thusi does. Say whatever you need to say about her success but the girl works damn hard. Also, this tweet is not a debate, miss me with your opinions. People can be so mean man. Stop.”
