Podcast and Chill co-host Sol Phenduka is not here for the narrative. The radio personality publicly denied allegations that he attempted to pursue content creator and podcaster Naqueeda during a recent club outing, calling the whole situation a bid for online attention.

Phenduka took to X on 16 August 2026 to quote-tweet a viral clip of Naqueeda recounting the alleged encounter.

"Wow, they really would do anything for this clout. I was literally just being kind to her. I passed a compliment, but one thing I didn't do is hit on her. 🤣"

What Naqueeda said on the podcast

The drama traces back to an episode of 'Spreading Humours', a show on the Podcast and Chill Network, where Naqueeda was sharing stories about her interactions with media personalities in VIP club settings.

According to Naqueeda, she was hosting at a venue when Sol Phenduka arrived with his crew and sat in a nearby section. She claimed he spent a notable amount of time staring at her before eventually walking over. The line he allegedly delivered?

"Oh my gosh, I didn't know you were this beautiful."

Naqueeda told the podcast hosts she quietly brushed him off in her mind, referring to him as an ‘old man,’ though she kept the conversation going briefly out of politeness before returning to her group. The hosts reacted by labelling his alleged behaviour as looking 'hungry' for her attention.

Phenduka's pushback draws a clear line between offering a casual compliment and making a romantic advance, arguing that the two are very different things in a social setting. By addressing the clip head-on, he also implied that content creators sometimes reach for celebrity names to generate traction for their shows.

"As a gent, there is absolutely no reason to compliment a woman you have no business with! Unless you want them, so that becomes a conversation starter!"

MrMacSliz questioned:

"You're not completely innocent if you complimented her. Would you give her the same compliment if your woman was standing next to you?"

Vusi30237768 joked:

"Bathi, you were hungry; she can see hungry people."

Moscow35007 added:

"Sometimes we blame Scot Maphuma for Mahala; dude is trying to stay away from this kind of thing."

Mditshwer was harsh, writing:

"That time she's not even beautiful; she's a street alcoholic EAT GIRL trying to be relevant."
