Fans say the duo’s fame does not give them freedom

Local netizens reacted on social media to show their admiration for the show, while others said their popularity does not give them the freedom to say anything they want.

NevondoRi is upset:

“They want to bring down self-made black brothers, who employ lots of young blacks just to defend a gold digger.”

ItsMe4lif criticised the show:·

“Know the content you want by degrading women? Uyanya!”

NkabindETEB is curious:

“You say you are membership, but you still see ads? How does that work? If you not willing to pay 80 bucks, then you not a member chief.”

Syzzzzz_122 asked a question:

“What have you gained from those rubbish talks?”

BanziZeigh is suspicous:

“I think the uproar right now is really a push to get them off DSTV. Yeah, he is wrong but the TL is really going overboard ngalento kaSol and MacG. It's giving pushed-out roar worse they were saying this just last month about Cyan and a Durban influencer.”

fighting4SA said the dup should be more mindful of their words:

“That doesn't give him the right to insult women.”

Keneiwe15 said the controversy will end:

“Leave them, the noise will die down soon.”

Van241148170 backs the duo:

“Exactly, we chillers understand them.”

Mreiks16 is a fan:

“We'll continue to support them. Come rain or sunshine #podcastandchill.”

RaymondDitshego said it is unfair:

“This world is so messed up, bra. A woman can say anything about a man and it's fine. But when a man says something about women and the LG+, he will be attacked from all angles, he will be called names. People are not forced to watch things they don't like.”
