Fans want to cancel DJ Tira over his R70k verse & R100k chorus 'prices'
Yoh! Just as we were thinking about starting our own petrol stokvel to help us make it through the month, DJ Tira has announced that the price of Chikichikichaaaaaa has gone up.
Malume had disciples feeling all kinds of ways on Thursday night when he jumped onto Twitter to announce his new price list for features.
For all artists/ DJs who wants Chikichikichaaaaaa on their songs.... the price has gone up! R50k. Verse is R70k. Chorus is R100k. Faka imali uzobona! Uzongithola eAfro!

To break it down for you.
R50,000 for Tira to go; "Chikichikichaaaaaa" on your track
R70,000 for him to give you a verse on the song
R100,000 to do a chorus.
We were floored like...
Responding to a fan's criticism, malume explained why he charged so much...because, you know, he doesn't make average music.
My average songs makes people hundreds of thousands! And i dont make average songs!!! Hit after Hit!!! Phika Vuma! https://t.co/G6un8G4pDO

Coming just weeks after it was claimed that Okmalumkoolkat had quoted Major League DJs R90k for a verse, the internet was a mess in response to Tira's prices.
