How MacG made his first R90K and how it was split among everyone at Podcast And Chill with MacG

“We [MacG and Thabang] had been working for two years with no money. The first check we got was from a client of ours. They gave us 90k. So I went to everybody, we were still at Ghost Lady’s house, chilling there by the pool and I’m like guys we’ve got 90k, how do we split this? "

MacG said some team members felt it was unfair to split the money evenly when they contributed more than others. So he decided never to disclose anything money-related.

“There were four of them, and everyone wanted to split it equally, but Len had different views. We all agreed, and Len out of nowhere is like no, I’ve been here the longest. And Thabang who was the last person to come in was like Nah, these are my cameras. That’s when I realized never to disclose. I had just felt like we’d been working for two years and nothing had come through so let’s just break bread.”

DJ Sbu defends MacG from gatekeeping claims

Briefly News previously reported that DJ Sbu defended MacG from Podcast And Chill after Penuel The Black Pen accused him of gatekeeping.

Without trying to create animosity between them, Penuel said MacG's only focus is to grow his podcast. He said he does not visit other podcasts, which comes across as gatekeeping in his opinion.
