Papa Penny angrily said that the song was provocative further emphasising that the man that was assaulted was not a Nigerian, but a Tsonga man from Giyani, Limpopo.

Clapping back on 1 April 2026, Mchunu disrespectfully said he would continue singing the song like that, asking why Penny Penny was a tribalist, as his agenda is for all nations to unite.

Ngizwe extends olive branch

Now, on the latest episode of Bhinca Nation, Ngizwe explained that it was wrong for him to disrespect an elder. Ngizwe said that his anger was ignited by Julius Malema.

"Let me start by saying, as someone who was raised properly, I acknowledge that there were offensive words that were said," he said, adding that he remembers Julius Malema's words and harsh response he said to him.
"As an elder, Papa Penny had the right to scold me and bring me to order. So as someone who was raised right, I had no place to speak the way I did with Papa Penny. And for that, I would like to apologise to you. You are my father and a music legend," he humbly said.
