DJ Maphorisa sat down with MacG on Podcast and Chill on Thursday, 17 September 2026, and the hosts wasted no time steering the conversation toward his on-again, off-again relationship with actress and media personality Thuli Phongolo. The episode has since gone viral, with fans amused by just how carefully Phori navigated every personal question thrown his way.
DJ Maphorisa speaks on Thuli P romance
Seated in the yellow-branded podcast studio, MacG pressed Maphorisa directly:
"Are you guys dating? What's happening, my man? Cause one day she's opening a case against you, and the next day you guys are back together."

Rather than respond to the question directly, Maphorisa said:
“We’re trying to see where it goes.”
MacG and Sol Phenduka remarked that it was plain to see in the way the DJ looks at Thuli that he is smitten.
"I can tell you love the Dolly, man," MacG said.
Maphorisa said:
"It's good to be in love, dawg. It's a nice feeling."
Phori goes quiet on the assault case
When the conversation turned to the assault case Thuli Phongolo once opened against him, a case that played out publicly, Maphorisa became noticeably guarded.
"I don't know if I need to talk about that one," he said. "We thank God we are still alive."
Maphorisa did not offer any explanation for why the case was ultimately dropped, sidestepping the question entirely.
“There are lawyers all over. You’ll make me pay a lot of money. Yes, it’s over, but there are lawyers involved. Just leave it,” Maphorisa said.
The hosts also asked whether he had ever dated socialite Cyan Boujee, a rumour he flatly denied before the conversation lightened up.
Fans watching the clip had plenty to say about Phori's evasiveness:

"Mac will forever be goated"

@Mesuli ngqola claimed:
"You can tell Phori signed an NDA."
@Shaunkeyz__ alleged:
"They're keeping it private."
