The 'Quantico' actress and the 'Destiny' rapper battled each other, using their words on Twitter, over the subject of horses.
The Twitter feud began when Pearl Thusi had uploded pictures of herself on Twitter, riding a horse, with the caption: "Meet ebony...a beautiful horse I was shooting with that freaked out, so I fell off him & suffered minor injuries. In spirit on Woman Power... I got right back on to get the job done & because giving up is not in my nature. It was worth it. Black Girl Magic Baby (sic)".
Meet Ebony... a beautiful horse I was shooting with that freaked out, so I fell off him & suffered some minor injuries.

When her Twitter fans checked to see if the actress was well, Nyovest saw the funny side of her tweet, and asked her why she, as a black woman, would be riding a horse in the first place.
Lol.... YOU FELL? What were you doing on a horse wena as a black woman? Certain things should be left to white people, don’t you think? That’s what you get for Ukuphapha!!! Yegela Izinto za belungu wena black girl magic!!! https://t.co/eTmIuqtH9u

Thusi was having none of it and immediately responded to Nyovest's tweets, calling him narrow-minded for not knowing that black people rode horses for centuries, knocking him off his Twitter pedestal.
So you believe black women should be limited?
You’re narrow minded self also doesn’t know black people were riding horses on our continent for centuries?! And now as a black woman I must be confined to YOUR LIMITS.
Nigga GTFOH. https://t.co/hpYCSbwYpJ

Cassper responded to Thusi, but Pearl shut the rapper down by adding that "you can't even ride a donkey".
Are you mad cause I laughed at your fall or cause I asked what a black woman was doing on the horse ? Wa phapha , that’s your problem. You just went at me and made this deeper than rap!!! Are you even good at riding? Why didn’t you just take a picture standing next to it? https://t.co/xiq4UxXBcd

Im mad because you under estimate what I’m capable of because I’m black and a woman.
And for someone who’s been under estimated, you’d think you know how to act. That time you can’t even ride a donkey. FILL UP your mind with KNOWLEDGE next time. 😘 https://t.co/3TkISwlIjE
