Sol Phenduka recently bumped into Heavy-K at an event and couldn't wait to share the moment on social media.

The Podcast and Chill co-host, having recently been suspended from his day job at Kaya 959, is using his free time to put himself out there and meet fans and industry mates. And his meeting with Heavy-K is one that fans were anticipating.

This is because months ago, on 7 May 2025, Sol challenged the Drumboss to a celebrity boxing tournament, and he accepted. However, as it may seem, the challenge was merely a publicity stunt on social media.
