Video clips of suspects robbing a jewellery store at the mall went viral. However, they were quickly arrested thanks to the collaborative efforts of the security company and police officers.

Pictures of the suspects were shared on social media, and peeps were quick to point out that one of the suspects was allegedly DJ Tira's backup dancer.

DJ Tira responds to inquisitive tweep

Some viewers shared a video of the suspect dancing with Tira during his set at the club. A tweep asked him on X to bail the dancer out, and DJ Tira hilariously clapped back at him.

@Sicelo_11 said, "Bail out the boy, DJ Tira. Do the noble thing."

DJ Tira responded, "You are disrespecting me, big head." In another post, he said, "I just want my studio back."

Another tweep asked if the dancer had a hand in the robbery at Afrotainment in June. He offered a reward of R20,000. Could his post hint at him also suspecting the dancer?

A lot of his studio equipment was stolen, but Tira quickly restored everything.

DJ Tira ignores music critiques

In a previous report from Briefly News, music producer DJ Tira released his summer song Siyaphothula. However, before the song's release, there was drama associated with him after he was criticised for excluding Mgilane.

The DJ was not bothered. He said he does not care because he will not be told by social media followers how to make music.
