‘My dad DJ Tira has worked so hard to afford me a certain lifestyle
Tank The Rockstar says the best thing about being DJ Tira’s son is that he can get whatever he wants, wherever he goes.
Tank is currently on Born Into Fame, a Showmax original reality show that puts the spotlight on the children of famous parents.
“My dad has worked so hard and that affords me a certain lifestyle and access to things. The worst thing about having a famous dad is that he is busy all the time. So I do not get to spend a lot of time with him – there is always a project that he is working on. Another thing that is not so great is that people just expect you to be like your dad. They do not give you a chance to be yourself,” said Tank.
Tank say being born into fame is something that is positive because there is a lot that comes with it.
“It can be a cheat code to get the things you want. Like everything else, it has its challenges, but at this point in my life, I am used to it.”
He shared that there are a lot of pressures when it comes to fame. This is because, just like his father, he is also a musician.
“Most people expect me to be on point all the time, not realising that I am just figuring myself and my sound out. I am still trying to build my career. And it is a work in progress. People expect perfection, but that is not how life is.”
He stated that he does not believe he lives in DJ Tira’s shadow. That’s because he is a larger-than-life character with a lot of personality. Watching the show has made it easier to befriend certain people on the show. This is because of the things that were done and said.
Tank The Rockstar had internet users reacting to his decision to put school aside and focus on fame.
In a recent episode on the reality show ,Tank who is the eldest son of DJ and record producer DJ Tira from his first marriage, candidly spoke about his decision to return to school as he wanted to focus on his career. When asked about his academic journey by his manager and friend Khanya, Tank said that although he had the desire to go back to school he could not as it would clash with him pushing his career in the music industry.
