“Sol Phenduka responded to DJ Maphorisa for blaming podcasts for Scotts Maphuma’s verbal diarrhoea as he stands by L-Tido: ♥️♥️♥️ ‘These podcasts are messing up our bags. I wish they knew the damage they’re causing emotionally and financially,’ — Maphorisa.”

Phenduka and his co-hosts MacG and Ghost Lady discussed the Scotts Maphuma drama. Sol Phenduka brought up DJ Maphorisa’s comments about podcasts destroying artists’ careers.

Sol challenged Maphorisa to name one person whose career was destroyed by a podcast. He clarified that artists are their own worst enemies.

“Imagine him blaming this on the podcasts? How about some accountability bro? Name one artist whom a podcast ruined their careers? It’s obviously something they would have said,” he explained.

Sol Phenduka defended L-Tido, saying that he tried to stop Scotts Maphuma from running his mouth, but the Amapiano artist didn’t take the hint and continued slamming his fans.

“Why didn’t he say, ‘artists mess up their own income after speaking recklessly on a podcast?’. Accountability. Don’t blame podcasts, bro. L-Tido didn’t do anything. In fact, he was even trying to reel him in. So, how is that the podcast’s fault?” Phenduka said.

Sol Phenduka went on to list the artists who benefited from being on Podcast and Chill. He revealed that Reason, aka Sizwe Alakine, benefited after confronting Thakgi and his Piano Pulse co-hosts over their comments about Gigi Lamayne.
