Musa Khawula is once again at the centre of a social media firestorm, this time for breaking the unwritten rules of funeral decorum with a harsh remark aimed at the late DJ Warras.

The mourning period for Warras was marred by a bitter online feud, as the blogger faced a massive public backlash for what many have described as a 'cold-blooded' and 'disrespectful' response to the star’s passing.

On the day of the late DJ's funeral on 23 December 2025, Khawula shared a photo of his coffin on Twitter (X), which was surrounded by male family members and associates ahead of Warras' cremation, wearing suits and traditional Zulu headbands called Umqhele.

Previously, his friend, Langa Mavuso, came to his defence after more online users began questioning the former Live Amp presenter's character and whether or not he was a good person.

Reacting to Khawula's harsh remarks, the comment section erupted with mixed reactions towards the blogger's post.
