Pearl commented on the post with laughing emojis which landed her in hot water because Pabi asked her what she was laughing at. The comments section of the post has since been turned off.

Pearl later went live on Instagram to explain that she was joking. She also revealed that she sent Pabi a text to apologise.

Pearl explained that she had been off Instagram the entire day and now everyone thinks she is “dogging” Pabi.

“I am going live because I have not been on Instagram the entire day. Everyone thinks I am dogging Pabi Cooper and I am so sad about that,” she said.

“I really thought she is booked in Nigeria. She is killing it right now and when she worded it in a Nigerian accent, I thought she was making a joke about being booked, I thought she was kidding, I thought she was flexing on us,” she continued.

Take a look….

It seems the Queen Sono star also landed herself in hot water for her opinion on the Grammys. She said that she does not take the awards ceremony too seriously after Wiz Kid walked away empty handed but this came after South Africa’s favourite DJ Black Coffee brought home a Grammy.

“Wiz not winning a Grammy is another reason I kinda don’t take the Grammys too seriously. It’s a celebratory/fun show with cool statues. African artists have proved they don’t need them, but they’re a nice to have. But also, I could be wrong. That’s just me. All love,” she said.
