DJ Tira under fire as woman accuses him of sleeping with her without consent, shares screenshots

In more entertainment news, Briefly News reported in May 2024 that DJ Tira is trending after Luke Ntombela alleged that he slept with her without consent, sharing screenshots where Tira seemed to ask her not to expose him.

Ntombela claims she woke up next to him after getting intoxicated and felt he touched her inappropriately.

Social media is divided, with some supporting Tira and others questioning Ntombela's actions and suggesting she should have sought medical and legal help instead of posting on Facebook.
