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.

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:

"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."
