Pearl then responded to the fan’s tweet by calmly asking him not to pirate the show as they had worked hard on it.
“Babe please don’t pirate our show. We worked so hard on it and the numbers via the platform itself will help the success of the show and other shows out of Africa on Netflix,” she wrote with a sad face emoji.
