‘I was never mean to Pearl’: DJ Zinhle slams beef claim [watch]

Business woman and musician DJ Zinhle has slammed claims she unpleasantly treated actress Pearl Thusi while they were out partying at Montana The Club on Wednesday 21 September.

A short video of the Era by DJ Zinhle founder seemingly giving Pearl Thusi the cold shoulder went viral on Thursday 22 September, therefore, prompting a response from the Umlilo hitmaker.

ZINHLE ADDRESSES VIRAL VIDEO WITH PEARL THUSI

Taking to Twitter, DJ Zinhle told trolls they must stop vilifying her. She explained that what people saw in the video was not her shooing Pearl away, but a gesture for Brandon — whom she was playing a set with — to come closer.

“I need to clear things up. Pearl & I had a great time & on the video you saw, I was gesturing to Brandon, whom I was playing a set with, to come & select the song cause we were using his USBs.

“Why would Pearl smile when she walked away if I was being mean to her? Please stop vilifying me…”

When tweeps asked her not to explain, she said she does not want people to push their narratives about her.

“Y’all keep saying I don’t need to explain myself so you can push the narrative that entertains you. I was never mean to Pearl.. not at all…”

This is not the first time that Zinhle is addressing her alleged beef with Pearl Thusi. In August, the Indlovu hitmaker told SowetanLIVE’s SMag that she and the Fistful of Vengeance actress have an everlasting sisterhood.

“Pearl and I are fine… we have an everlasting sisterhood. Much like every relationship has its ups and downs, we go through that as well. We are at a point in our lives where we don’t have to explain ourselves to people as long as we’re accountable to each other and our friendship,” Zinhle said.

THE VIRAL VIDEO IN QUESTION

The uproar about Zinhle and Pearl’s question was reignited after a video of the two businesswomen went viral.

In the clip, the Umlilo DJ is seen doing what she does best behind the decks when a cheerful Pearl Thusi approaches her. But Zinhle seems to pay Pearl no mind as she immediately talks to Brandon whom she is DJing with. When this happens, Pearl leaves them and goes back to the crowd.
