Yoh! Amapiano musician Sizwe Alakine, popularly known as Reason, threw a fit when he recently appeared on Thakgi’s podcast. An enraged Reason defended his current girlfriend Gigi Lamayne after Thakgi suggested she is a downgrade compared to his baby mama Lootlove.

“Sizwe Alakine is furious after Thakgi claimed he downgraded by being with Gigi Lamayne, comparing her to his baby mama, Lootlove.”
In the video, Reason savages Thakgi for comparing Gigi Lamayne to Lootlove. He suggested such comparisons promote negative beauty standards.
“What downgrade? What gives you the right to sit down and discuss another man’s relationship? What are you teaching these kids here? That oh yeah if you’re a girl that looks like Gigi in the public perception, you’re a downgrade compared to a girl that looks like Luthando in the public perception,” Reason said.
Thakgi remains unapologetic and tries to justify why he called Gigi Lamayne a downgrade, saying:
“It was in comparison with what’s in the media and what we’ve seen.”
Thakgi’s efforts to de-escalate the situation were in vain as Reason continued to go off. He declared that he wasn’t on the podcast to talk to Thakgi but to school him.
“You’re trying to justify ish that has no basis. I didn’t come here to have a conversation. I came here to rectify you,” he said.
