DJ Warras, real name Warrick Stock, was shot and killed on 16 December after being ambushed in the Johannesburg CBD. His friends and family gathered in Rosebank for his memorial service, where several notable figures took the stage to share their experiences with Warras.

During her speech, Pearl Thusi was heartbroken as she expressed sympathy towards Warras' loved ones; however, it wasn't long before her speech took a dramatic turn, with Pearl sharing private details about their friendship.

Many believed that the actress had alluded to having slept with Warras after a night out. She mentioned sharing a bed with him, and that Warras wanted to "cuddle."

Reacting to her revelations in one of his latest YouTube videos published on the day of the service, Slik Talk said that before watching the video, he refused to believe that Pearl could share such details in public.

The three-minute video sees the YouTuber listening and pausing the video to react to Pearl's speech, signifying his shock with each pause at Pearl telling this story at a mass memorial.

"Pearl Thusi, you're saying all this at the mass memorial."

In true Slik Talk style, the video ends abruptly; however, he used the last seconds to condemn Pearl. He suggested that her mention of the pillows being placed between them was solely to give Warras' wife peace of mind that the cuddling did not lead anywhere.

"So, you slept together in the same bed and cuddled, but the pillows were there, just to make sure the wife doesn't get upset."

While the story was meant to show the world her and Warras' sibling-like bond, many people felt it was in bad taste and should have stayed between them.
