Twitter (X) user _BlackZA opened up the floor for debate after stumbling upon the Scorpion Kings' alleged booking requirements, which also included transport and accommodation fees charges separately.

According to the requirements, if you're looking to book DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, you'll need R200K for an indoor event and R300K for an outdoor show, and that's excluding hospitality.

Other requirements include 5-star accommodation, a R28K transport fee, a R100 daily allowance per member, VISA costs for each member if required, and armed private security.

The tweep was curious to know if event organisers even make a profit after paying nearly R500K for the Scorpion Kings:

splinterlinter said:

"These ones are high; they want us to engage money laundering services through these booking sheets."

"No wonder they hardly get gigs overseas and outside Gauteng. Are they mad?

"That’s why we buy general tickets for a ridiculous amount these days."

Lungile_nje threw shade at Porry:

"I'm sure Maphorisa wrote this quotation."

Meanwhile, others believe that the booking fee is reasonable for the Scorpion Kings:

GMakerting said:

"For both of them, I think this is a fair fee. Babes Wodumo was charging R120K alone. This is Kabza and Maphorisa."

Indigosa_ argued:

"Babes Wodumo used to be 150-200K alone, so this invoice is reasonable, especially 'cause it's both Maphorisa and Kabza."
