Johannesburg- Pearl Thusi's decision to use a wig to the Metro FM Awards this past weekend became one of the major talking points of the event.
The Twitter fashion police immediately took aim at Pearl, ridiculing her choice with a string of memes and hateful tweets.
This saw Pearl make the Twitter trends list since the early hours of Sunday morning.
Not one to take any sort of hate lying down, Pearl hit back at some of the women throwing shade at her. Pearl screen grabbed pictures of some of the women she believes took aim at her, and reposted their pictures to her social media in an attempt to name and shame them.
The hairstyle that got everyone talking...
