According to IOL, his remark comes as more women, including DBN Gogo, Thuli Phongolo and viral sensation Uncle Waffles have recently entered the DJ-ing space.
It also comes at a time when the debate over female DJs requiring certain looks and not necessarily talent to succeed in the DJ industry, is still raging.
