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.
Pressures of being in his father’s shadow
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.
Carving his own path
“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.
