Emtee, a local rapper, has set social media ablaze with his public display of affection for renowned actress and media personality Pearl Thusi.
Emtee, who appears to have had a long-held crush on Thusi, took advantage of the chance to confess his feelings on Instagram.
The rapper conveyed his burning desire for the actress by sharing one of her controversial images that has been generating a fuss on social media, in which she proudly wears a revealing sheer costume that leaves little to the imagination.
Emtee joked that his followers would rejoice if he had an intimate relationship with Thusi.
“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.
Some social media users commented on his Instagram post, quoting words from his song, while others joked that he hadn’t “smashed” the actress after all these years, as they imagined he would after releasing 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.”
