Dj Tira

Popular musician and music boss DJ Tira has lambasted reports that he is jealous of maskandi artiste Mroza and told Ukhozi FM to pull out of the artiste’s celebration party this past weekend.

According to Sunday Sun‚ DJ Tira was apparently bitter at Mroza’s success and told Ukhozi FM management to pull out of the celebration.

“DJ Tira is the problem. He’s the one who gave orders to the station’s manager to pull out from Mroza’s celebration party‚ which is unfair‚” said one source.

Another source apparently told the paper that Tira’s jealousy stemmed from his desire to be “the only star” to have ever come from their hometown of Kwa-Hlabisa.

“DJ Tira is greedy and it’s just a matter of time before people see who he really is. This guy thinks he owns the whole province. He did this because he wants to be the only star to have ever come out of Kwa-Hlabisa‚” the source said.

The reports angered Tira‚ who took to Instagram to slam the claims.

“To the person behind these lies‚ listen to me carefully‚ you won’t win‚” he wrote.

Tira went on to explain that there was no animosity between him and Mroza and that he hoped to work with the talented maskandi artiste in the future.

“It’s only a matter of time before I get into studio with my homeboy Mroza. In short‚ I don’t have a problem with (Mroza’s record label) Mabala Noise and I will continue working with their artistes given an opportunity‚” Tira wrote.

The Afrotainment boss also congratulated Mroza on his SABC Song of the Year award.

The reported feud between Tira and Mroza was also denied by Mabala Noise‚ who told TshisaLIVE on yesterday that they had always enjoyed a good working relationship with Tira.— Sowetan.
