The storm surrounding Pearl Thusi continues to intensify as social media critics shift their focus from her controversial memorial service speech to a deep dive into her romantic past.

The Queen Sono actress is at the centre of online controversy over her tribute at DJ Warras' memorial, which has been labelled by the public as "inappropriate" and a desperate plea for attention.

In a classic case of "the internet never forgets," Pearl's controversial speech, in which she alluded to having slept with Warras, opened the floodgates to a viral investigation into her alleged former flames, revealing some of the men she has allegedly been with in the past.

Pearl Thusi changes social media profile pictures to DJ Warras amid backlash

Posted by Twitter (X) user Troll_SAfootbal on 20 December 2025, a collage of photos of Thusi and several men ignited an intense debate around her romantic life.

The five-picture mashup included a photo of Pearl with the father of her daughter, Walker Mokoena, in their heydays, as well as a snap of herself with her former lover, Robert Marawa and her daughter Thando. Thusi and Marawa were rumoured to have started dating between 2013 and 2015, going public in 2016 and later getting engaged before calling it quits a year later.

The collage also featured a cheerful photo of Pearl and singer Njelic, a cosy picture with an unknown man, and a now-viral photograph of herself and DJ Warras, which surfaced just days after his death on 16 December 2025.

While it's unclear whether Pearl dated all the men in the collage, the post was seemingly meant to cast doubt on her "just friends" narrative by suggesting a recurring pattern of high-profile relationships, effectively fueling the public's scepticism toward her recent claims of a brother-sister bond with Warras.

Furthermore, the post also hoped to mock Thusi by resurfacing her romantic history, using the memorial service backlash to paint her as a "serial dater" in the eyes of the online community.

While she suggested that she and her former Live Amp co-host merely "cuddled," the term was later used by the online community as a euphemism to describe casual sexual relationships, with critics mockingly suggesting that the word was a thinly veiled cover for a much more romantic dynamic.
