Local celebrities really know how to play with us! A few days ago, DJ Bongz found himself trending on Twitter after he unveiled his newest clothing item, the #GwaraGwara cap.

It looked like people were ready to add this new fashion item to their wardrobes until DJ Bongz revealed the price - an incredible R800.
Twitter wasn’t having it and before long people were laughing at the DJ for expecting such madness (Riky Rick knows how he feels).
However, it turns out that the joke is on us. DJ Bongz took to Facebook to admit that this whole cap saga was just a publicity stunt.
He said...
As we know by now, the chill in Mzansi is in limited supply. But it ran out after there was yet another twist to the story. An American company called Vianel got involved in the whole saga after tweeting:
@Dj_Bongz Please stop using our images to promote your product. This image is copyrighted and belongs to VIANEL only.

We’re still waiting for DJ Bongz’ response to this tweet. Meanwhile, the DJ revealed that the real price of his cap is R200. Are you going to buy one?
