Speculations and rumours about Ntsiki's axing arose when the YouTube channel that broadcasted her podcast released Season 2 trailer on 08 November 2022.

The short clip introduced the new podcast intro, and Ntsiki was nowhere visible in the 19-second video.

While Ntsiki was still the host, the intro included a short speech from her whenever a new episode began. However, in the new trailer, there is only music playing and scenes of infrastructure and people, not Ntsiki.
