DJ Tira accused of stealing Mgilane's flow on Siyaphothula

This is not the first time DJ Tira has been accused of stealing a song. Last October, the Singenzenjani hitmaker was under fire following the release of his summer song Siyaphothula.

He was criticised for excluding Durban influencer Mgilane. DJ Tira was also accused of using the influencer’s flow without crediting him.

In response, DJ Tira defiantly declared he would not be pressured by social media. He also dismissed reports that the song wasn’t doing well on digital streaming platforms.

Meanwhile, DJ Tira is expected to jet off to the Netherlands in March where he will be one of the headliners at the Afro Soul Jam event in Amsterdam. He will be joined by fellow Durban’s Finest wheel spinner, DJ Sox and other South African entertainers.

DJ Tira accused of stealing lyrics on new song Salamalikom

Also in February 2025, DJ Tira was being accused by Kwaito artist Sosha of stealing lyrics on the new song Salamalikom.

In an interview with TshisaLive, Sosha, real name Sibonelo Ngcobo, says he was disappointed when he discovered that DJ Tira had stolen the lyrics from his song Ama’Sulumane which he released in 2021.

Sosha said he expected the veteran producer, whom he considers his hero, to at least credit him on the new song. He also implied that DJ Tira did not reach out to ask for permission before using the lyrics.
