While Speedsta opted not to match the same energy, he had plenty to say on the latest episode of his Up To Speed podcast on 30 June 2026. The DJ made it clear that his restraint was purely professional, and not out of fear, addressing Stilo with his moniker from earlier in his career.

"I must say, Chocolate, I'm not scared of you, my brother. "It's just that I have a lot to lose, you have absolutely nothing to lose, so that's the difference between Chocolate and me."

Speedsta didn't stop there. He went on to warn the rapper that "the Vaal is not happy," claiming he has "pitbulls" he could easily call to handle the situation but chose not to. Having recently threatened to sue a fellow artist, he strictly emphasized that if Stilo had escalated things physically, it would have ended in a courtroom.

"If you touch this face, my friend, I'll take you to Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Services. I won't fight with you, there's nothing to fight about."

On the flip side, Stilo Magolide slammed the narrative that he was simply acting out for the cameras. Speaking to TshisaLIVE on 1 July, the rapper and fashion enthusiast made it clear that, contrary to popular belief, he was not looking for clout. Instead, he was merely defending his honour.
