Speaking on the podcast, Sol Phenduka said:
“I think AKA shouldn’t have performed. I think the whole thing was triggered by him performing at the Nedbank Cup Final. He shouldn’t have performed, you just lost your partner… I know a bag is a bag is a bag but AKA has been relevant for so many years, I’m pretty sure he can… if he needs to forfeit… I mean Nedbank it’s not like they’re tone deaf they saw what happened to him, They’ll understand him pulling out.“
The podcasters agreed that the rapper should have taken time off. Sol went on to say that even exposing private messages he had with Nelli Tembe’s father was not a good move.
“I think you shouldn’t have done that bro, those were in confidence. That’s a father speaking absolutely honestly about his daughter and you’re deciding to put that up as a defence? That looks bad bro! That looks bad cause now you’re not gonna get any favour from that family.”

@its_okuhleyyyy said:
"Idk why people are speaking so negatively of AKA. He probably signed and agreed that he'd perform at the Nedbank Cup before the incident."
