Local rapper Emtee has set social media ablaze with his public display of affection towards renowned actress and media personality Pearl Thusi.
Emtee, who seems to have harboured a deep admiration for Thusi for an extended period, seized the opportunity to express his feelings on Instagram.
Sharing one of her controversial pictures that has been causing a commotion on social media, and in which she confidently dons a revealing sheer outfit that leaves little to the imagination, the rapper revealed his burning desire for the actress.
Emtee suggested that his followers would rejoice if he were to have an intimate connection with Thusi, playfully hinting at a potential romantic involvement.
“No cap in my raps. The hood would be so proud if I hit that 😊 (just saying) 🤷🏽♂️ @pearlthusi,” he wrote.
Social media users erupted in a frenzy of discussions and opinions, with many saying Emtee had been crushing on Thusi for years, branding him a “simping” admirer.
The admiration had been evident back in 2015, when Emtee released a song aptly titled “Pearl Thusi,” on which the actress featured.
Commenting on his Instagram post, some social media users quoted lyrics from his song, while some humorously expressed their surprise that after all these years, he hadn’t “smashed” the actress as they assumed that he did after he released a song about her.
An online user summed things up perfectly: “Dude I thought after That Pearl Thusii song u got a chance😭😭 so you're still sbwling from 2015 na manje just like us smh.”
