Phori on the couch! One of South Africa's most talked-about producers finally agreed to sit down with Podcast and Chill with MacG, and the trailer alone has already set the internet alight.
On Thursday, 17 September, the Podcast and Chill Network dropped a hype-filled promotional trailer on X confirming DJ Maphorisa as their latest guest, scheduled to go live at 3 pm. Filmed in a bright yellow studio with branded "Chillers Punch" microphones, the vertical-format clip teases an unfiltered, wide-ranging conversation that mixes interview footage with throwback photos and performance clips.
What Maphorisa and MacG will unpack
The network was upfront about the agenda: gatekeeping allegations that have followed Maphorisa for years, the multiple lawsuits the podcast itself has faced, the ongoing saga involving Samthing Soweto, and money allegedly owed to the DJ and producer. In the trailer, Maphorisa pushes back on his reputation, saying, "You can't see me like a gatekeeper door. Because if you look at, you know, like, what I did for the game, you can see, like, I've opened doors."

He also addresses the lawsuit drama with a laugh: "He's a bad lawyer. He's always suing us, my man." At another point, seemingly reflecting on his legacy, he adds: "I'm not a bad guy," before breaking into a lighter moment with the hosts, telling them, "You guys worked hard, man. I'm proud of you guys. So now, you know, you guys are the guys. So we need you. You can kiss the ring."
