We are working on fixing this matter urgently. My apologies for any inconvenience,” DJ Thuli Phongolo warned promoters through Instagram after her booking platform was hacked.

She is not the first celebrity to have her booking channel hacked. Over the years, hackers and scammers have made a fortune posing as celebrity imposters.
Making Headlines
Thuli Phongolo has quickly become the decks’ darling with an illustrious career spanning years. Over the years, she has seen herself being one of the most sought-after female celebrity DJs. However, in the wake of her newfound fame, she has had her fair share of drama that has often thrust her into top trends.
In 2022, her booking fee and riders leaked on social media, leaving many convinced she doesn’t come cheap. Back then, her one-hour set or engagement was priced at R20 000. The promoter was also accountable for her traveling expenses, a business class seat for the DJ and an economy seat for her manager. On top of that, transport to and from was at the promoter’s expense. Thuli Phongolo’s riders included two bottles of Moet Nectar, a Remy Martin VSOP, Hubbly, and all the mixers.
