In the realm of celebrity friendships, few have captivated public interest as much as the bond between Pearl Thusi and DJ Zinhle. Recently, Pearl took to social media to honor DJ Zinhle’s remarkable 20-year career in the music industry, writing, “I’m so proud of you. What a way to celebrate 20 years in the game. To mark the beginning of a whole new era… you are the girl you KNOW you are! To many more, my babe!” DJ Zinhle’s response was a simple “🙏,” which sparked a wave of speculation and chatter among fans regarding the current state of their friendship.
DJ Zinhle’s succinct reply, while seemingly innocent, led to a flurry of comments from fans who perceived a subtle distance between the two stars. Observers noted that the brief nature of Zinhle’s response might suggest a preference for maintaining a low profile, fueling rumors about the status of their relationship. Over time, fans have observed a shift in their dynamic, with the pair appearing less frequently at events and on social media, prompting discussions about whether their friendship is waning.
Despite the murmurs of discord, both Pearl and DJ Zinhle have taken steps to demonstrate that their bond remains strong. In an effort to counteract the speculation, Pearl shared a nostalgic throwback photo of the two from six years ago, captioned with a heartfelt “Love you,” and tagged DJ Zinhle. DJ Zinhle reciprocated by reposting the image on her own stories, signaling that although their friendship may have evolved, their mutual affection endures.https://twitter.com/ChrisExcel102/status/1824407757337845965?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1824407757337845965%7Ctwgr%5E05a29941d7a19208d25f4cb13ed535437f25a78d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftiemnews.co.zw%2Fdj-zinhles-response-to-pearl-thusis-gratitude-leaves-fans-talking%2F
In a candid appearance on DJ Fresh’s podcast, ‘WAW (What a Week),’ Pearl addressed the evolution of their relationship with honesty. She described DJ Zinhle as a sister, stating, “I consider Zinhle to be a sister, to be honest, and I have three sisters. There have been many times when I’ve had a sister where we don’t speak for half a year or a long time, just to give each other peace because we can’t seem to find some sort of equilibrium.” This acknowledgment of the natural fluctuations in friendships adds depth to their relationship, suggesting that the current distance might not signify a rift.
Pearl’s recent career advancements also add another layer to their friendship. With Pearl stepping into the DJ scene and making her debut at the Makhelwane Festival in Soweto, both women are navigating their individual journeys in the music industry. It’s apparent that they continue to support each other, even if they are not as publicly visible together as they once were.https://twitter.com/cozmino_/status/1824426726446735605?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1824426726446735605%7Ctwgr%5Ef01df5cce541028330d12ba00ed22e0edbfddcca%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftiemnews.co.zw%2Fdj-zinhles-response-to-pearl-thusis-gratitude-leaves-fans-talking%2F
