DJ Tira has taken legal action against musician Luke Ntombela following an interview with on Ukhozi FM.
She alleged that she became excessively intoxicated, blacked out, and woke up next to DJ Tira under circumstances suggesting something untoward happened.
She said she wants answers as to what happened that night because she cannot remember.
Ntombela had previously shared a series of screenshots on her Facebook post exposing DJ Tira of his actions.
DJ Tira’s legal team issued a cease-and-desist letter, urging Ntombela to refrain from discussing him on social media, citing damage to his reputation.
“Our clients have advised us of [the] continuous assassination of their characters and brand perpetuated by your posts on various social media accounts of unfounded, baseless, and defamatory allegations against them,” wrote the lawyers.
The lawyers disputed Ntombela’s claims, alleging malicious intent and attempting to extort money. They demanded a retraction from Ntombela within seven days.
“It is our further instruction that you were on the Ukhozi FM radio station and again made serious, baseless, and unfounded defamatory statements against our clients.
“It became apparent from the Ukhozi FM radio station interview that your allegations were devoid of substance and logic but full of malice and a desire to blackmail our clients into paying you money for undetermined reasons under the guise of our client owing you some money for performing musical exercises,” reads the letter.
DJ Tira’s lawyers also said they demanded that the musician publish a retraction.
“We demand a retraction of such malicious and defamatory statements against our clients through the same social media you used to publish them.
“You must further conduct a radio interview through the same radio station, retract the interview you conducted, and offer an unconditional apology.”
