Cassper Nyovest is not holding back. The rapper fired off a furious post on X on Thursday, 17 September 2026, making it crystal clear he wants nothing to do with Podcast and Chill — and that no amount of booking attempts will change his mind.
The outburst came after a clip resurfaced showing hosts MacG and Sol Phenduka laughing about a missing runner, Elizabeth Tsontso, later found dead in Kempton Park. The banter sparked widespread outrage across South Africa, with many calling out the podcast for its insensitivity.
Cassper Nyovest vows never to appear on Podcast and Chill
Nyovest was responding to a post by user @LindoMkhi, who tagged him in a teaser of DJ Maphorisa's Podcast and Chill interview and jokingly suggested he would be next to appear on the show. That was all the fuel the Don Billiato needed.

Mzansi reacts to Cassper Nyovest's vow
The post drew a wave of reactions, but not all of them were sympathetic to Cassper's stance. Several users felt he had shifted focus away from the real issue — the women's safety crisis gripping the country.
@IamSiyaZA wrote:
"Man of God is judging others 😳"
@solly_msosti pushed back more firmly:
"Cass, you know how much traffic you pull on this app; it's sad that you've changed the focus from those unalived women to you. You've made this about you; yes, they were wrong, but we're dealing with a crisis: an active serial unaliver, and thanks to you, the podcast will get record viewers."
@BhutiSno took a different angle, arguing the fans deserve better:
"They're right to try, and they must not stop trying to get you on a podcast, remember your fans are also Chillers; it's not about you, and it's not by MacG, but for the Chillers, and the Chillers love you, and they want to see you on the biggest podcast in Africa. Love and peace 🤍"
@bongwe_ncube offered a pragmatic view:
"The world is dynamic; digital airspace is taking over; you will need them one day."
@orangexar was the most pointed in his criticism:
"I wonder how you managed to turn this situation into being about you, brother! This is about our country's women and their grieving, but wena you want it to be about you? Ay sies, man."
