Sol Phenduka Stunned After Discovering Murdah Bongz Blocked Him on Instagram

• Sol Phenduka revealed the surprising discovery during a teaser video for an upcoming Podcast and Chill episode
• The podcaster expressed visible confusion over why former Black Motion member Murdah Bongz would have him blocked
• Sol's revelation drew sharp criticism from social media users, who felt he was not above being blocked by his peers

Sol Phenduka is not taking it lightly after finding out that DJ and producer Murdah Bongz has him blocked on Instagram. The revelation came via a teaser clip for the latest episode of Podcast and Chill, released ahead of the full episode's premiere on 21 September 2026.

In the short clip, a visibly baffled Phenduka broke the news to his audience and co-hosts with a mix of disbelief and confusion.

"I found out that Murdah Bongz blocked me on Instagram," he said, before adding, "I'm like, 'Murdah Bongz blocked me?' Why would Murdah Bongz block me, bro?"

The full context behind the apparent tension between Phenduka and the former Black Motion member is expected to be unpacked in the complete episode, but the teaser alone was enough to set social media alight.

Mzansi drags Sol Phenduka

Rather than sympathy, many users in the comment section turned the situation back on Phenduka, pointing out that he himself is no stranger to hitting the block button.

koyokosaan said:

"Sol thinks he's immune to blocking. Good wena, Murda; he also blocked me on Twitter for nothing!"

"Sol is emotional, man. He blocks everyone here on Twitter. Murda must not unblock him."

The reaction from some users went beyond the blocking drama, with others using the moment to drag up the controversy surrounding a recent Podcast and Chill episode.

Tb0Touch threw shade at the podcast:

"It's time to make fun of kidnapped women and children."

That comment points to a significant cloud hanging over the podcast. During a recent episode, MacG sparked outrage after joking that missing runner Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo could have "kept on running" if she had sensed danger. Phenduka added to the controversy with a punchline suggesting her race number may have made her a target.

Phenduka has since issued an apology, but critics on social media made it clear they were not ready to move on, with many feeling the remarks were far too insensitive to be forgiven. MacG, for his part, has not publicly addressed the backlash or offered an apology of his own.

With that controversy still fresh, Phenduka's Instagram block revelation landed in a hostile space - and Mzansi was in no mood to offer him the sympathy he seemed to be looking for.
