Pearl Thusi Criticised Over Comment Made at DJ Warras’ Memorial Service
Media personality Pearl Thusi has come under public criticism following comments she made during the memorial service of the late DJ Warras.
While paying tribute, Thusi shared a personal anecdote about a time when she and DJ Warras attended an out-of-town work engagement and ended up sharing a bed. She explained that DJ Warras was worried about oversleeping and missing his flight, but made a point of placing pillows between them.
The story was told during the memorial service, which was attended by DJ Warras’ wife, family members, friends, and colleagues.

Following the service, the remarks sparked widespread debate on social media. Many people questioned the appropriateness of sharing such a personal story in a setting meant to honour the life, character, and legacy of the deceased. Critics argued that memorials require sensitivity and that tributes should focus on professional achievements, positive memories, and the impact the deceased had on others.
Others, however, suggested that Thusi may not have intended any harm and was simply recounting a moment she believed reflected DJ Warras’ personality.
Despite differing opinions, the incident has reignited conversations around boundaries, respect, and discretion when speaking at memorial services, particularly when family members are present.
