Music fans and entertainment lovers are going back and forth on social media as they try to suss the value to secure the services of actor and musician Anga 'Naak MusiQ' Makabulo at a gig.
A recent tweet from local entertainment blogger Musa Khawula seemed to suggest R25 000 is what it will take for an inspired fan of the star to get a front-row seat to the action. Most notably, the fee will not include the traditional add-ons event organisers tend to expect, meaning even more money will need to be forked out.

"Booking Naak MusiQ to perform at your event costs R25 000 according to his manager. The booking fee does not include accommodation and flights or transportation of 4 people, which are the artist, DJ, pianist and road manager," wrote Khawula.
The newly-surfaced information became the subject of much debate among social networking users, some of whom thought it was relatively "low" coming from a musician who sees themselves in the light of a household name.

A popular tweep, @ChrisExcel102, aired that it wouldn't be a good idea to splurge on the artist, saying:
"To book Naak Musiq and Donald supposed to be R500 plus free drinks. Who the hell can have a Fomo to watch those people performing. Bad investment."
@KgothatsoMokwe6 wondered what the permutations were for paying the rest of the crew.
He wrote:
But @Lumkatamboer argued to the contrary, citing the calibre of the artist that Naak MusiQ warrants an even higher booking fee.
She added:
"No, 25K is too cheap for an artist of his calibre. Even community artists do not charge that," she wrote.
A critical @rt_zwane insisted the fee is too high and joked the musician should be booked on his owner for a lesser amount.

Briefly News previously reported that YouTuber Oabile did some digging and let us all in on what SA's favourite rappers charge. Oabile simply sent out a few emails and was able to get the deets we have all been searching for.
Requesting a price for various artists to perform a four-song set at a birthday party, the YouTuber's information suggested Cassper Nyovest is apparently the most expensive with a R207 000 fee for a measly 30-minute performance.
