The post quickly drew reactions online, with some questioning whether Felix Hlophe was leaving Gagasi FM.

“Peak Gagasi was Flex with Njabs and Khaya 👌🏽”

“I think it's time you went independent. You have the following: the future is independence; it has done very well in America. Those who broke off or were fired from mainstream media are killing it in the independent world, and they have the freedom to say whatever they like. The world is shifting; people trust indies more than mainstream now.”
