Social media is abuzz with concern after Sizwe Dhlomo’s attempt to defend MacG seemingly backfired, leaving fans worried that the broadcast veteran may have slipped and "said too much."

This, after the latest episode of Podcast and Chill on 9 April 2026, where hosts MacG, Sol Phenduka and Ghost Lady debated Cyan Boujee's rumoured R10 million house, where Mac argued that she should have kept the purchase to herself instead of broadcasting it. He alluded to the house being bought by a mysterious man and not Cyan herself.

"There's SARS. Now, everyone is talking about this house and will try to find out who the guy is. Now, the bag is compromised because his wife is going to find out, whereas she could have kept quiet."

It wasn't long before some viewers interpreted Mac's advice as underlying envy towards Cyan, suggesting that the broadcaster was threatened by the influencer's rapid rise and lavish lifestyle.

Reacting to the jealousy speculation on X (formerly Twitter) on 10 April, Dhlomo said MacG had no reason to be jealous of Cyan, suggesting that he was sitting on a fortune.

"If you knew Mac G’s main house, you’d know he’s definitely not jealous. I say 'main' because he has three."

Known for his unfiltered takes and laid-back persona, the public was caught off guard by the revelation that MacG was living larger than anyone realised.
