The Amapiano duo, Scorpion Kings, made headlines once again after their exorbitant R300,000 booking fee was revealed in a leaked email.
This hefty price tag has sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans and industry insiders expressing mixed reactions.
The Scorpion Kings, comprised of DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, have undeniably solidified their position as pioneers and powerhouses in the Amapiano genre.
Their consistent delivery of chart-topping hits and their significant contributions to the genre’s global recognition have undoubtedly elevated their status.
While some fans believe that the R300,000 fee is justified given their immense popularity and influence, others have questioned whether such a hefty price tag is reasonable for local gigs.
