Sir Trill Under Fire for Alleged Failure to Pay R1,880 Bill at The Loft Club
Johannesburg, 15 May 2025 — Amapiano star Sir Trill, real name Tumelo Mzwakhe Zwane, is at the centre of controversy after being accused of failing to pay a R1,880 bill at The Loft Club during a recent night out with his entourage.
The incident allegedly occurred on Saturday, 3 May 2025, and has since gone viral on social media, sparking a wave of criticism and debate among fans and industry observers. According to a waiter who served the group that evening, the musician promised to settle the outstanding amount the following day. However, nearly two weeks later, no payment has reportedly been made, and multiple attempts to contact both Sir Trill and his management have allegedly been ignored.
Taking to social media to express frustration, the waiter shared a detailed account of the incident:
“So @SIR_TRILLSA and his team left me with a 2k bill at The Loft Club on Saturday (03/05/2025)… Sir Trill failed to pay his bill of R1880, which he promised to deliver. I reached out the next day — no payment came through. I also tried contacting his manager. Still nothing.”
The claims have divided public opinion. While some fans have defended the artist, suggesting there may be a misunderstanding, others have condemned the alleged conduct as unprofessional. The backlash has been amplified by social media commentary pointing out that the singer was recently spotted driving a luxury vehicle valued at R4.4 million, leading many to question how such an oversight could occur over a comparatively modest amount.
The controversy surfaces just weeks after Sir Trill’s much-anticipated return to the music scene, highlighted by his collaboration with MaWhoo and S33kay on the track Ziphi Izinkomo. Though his comeback has been met with enthusiasm from fans, the ongoing payment dispute threatens to cast a shadow over his renewed momentum.
As of now, Sir Trill and his management have not issued any public statement regarding the allegations.
