DJ Tira and DJ Hlo alleged affair
In February 2022, rumours accusing DJ Tira of sleeping with Durban-based DJ Hlo emerged on social media.
DJ Hlo jumped to fame in late 2021 after her song Isibani won the Ukhozi FM's Song of The Year despite being fairly unknown by a lot of listeners.
Fans who couldn’t understand how DJ Hlo won the SOTY argued that the upcoming artist must have bribed someone at Ukhozi FM and it wasn’t long before some even speculated that she had slept with DJ Tira in return for the favour.
DJ Tira denied the allegations and even threatened to fight the fans who were spreading the propaganda.
