DJ Tshegu, real name Tshegofatso Phetlhu has been called out by a critic for being a producer.
During a recent conversation on Piano Pulse, a podcast which is under the Podcast and Chill network, one of the podcasters talked about women who are DJs but also claim to be producers.
Tshegu was dragged on the platform, as it was said that she cannot produce a song.
The podcaster dared the DJ by saying he would give the DJ R100,000 if she could produce a song in his studio.
The claim garnered mixed reactions, as some joined in poking fun, while others defended DJ Tshegu.
“Does the guy understand that there is a difference between producing and beat-making, you dont necessarily have to make the beat to produce a song. does he think Maphorisa or DJ Khaled make beat,” a Twitter user wrote.
“Not all female DJs can’t produce. Thandi Draai is a great Afro house producer, and she can sing as well,” another wrote.
“Don’t take that money chengu let your work speak for itself and if they don’t believe it’s fine you don’t need to convince them cos they’ve already made assumptions wena pusha spaan. Ka lerato leo,” a fan said to the DJ.
DJ Tshegu laughed off the claim.
