Cassper Nyovest appears to have clapped back at MacG after the podcaster took a swipe at his Billiato brand, and the response has got Mzansi talking.
MacG landed the dig during a live event tied to the launch of his own Chillers Lager, seemingly using the moment to take aim at his rival's gin brand. The comment arrived at a particularly charged moment. Both men's camps had already been at loggerheads following the backlash MacG and co-host Sol Phenduka received over insensitive remarks about slain runner Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo on their Podcast and Chill platform.
Cassper had been vocal in his condemnation of the podcasters, calling out what he described as a pattern of tasteless commentary. He also clashed with the Chillers, as the podcast's fanbase is known, and made it known he would never set foot on the show.

SA reacts after Cassper Nyovest seemingly responds
The post drew a flood of reactions, with opinion sharply split on whether Cassper played it smart or walked right into MacG's trap.
@Mpho_NP said:
"He was responding to your tweets, and we all know your gin is not selling"

@sipho_93 agreed:
"He's playing you and guess what?...you biting 😂😂😂,this is why we love MacG, he understands banter and has a way to ragebait guys like you"
@MogolwaneMaatla had this to say:
"You talked about him for 2 weeks; you thought he wasn't gonna reply, huh? 🤔"
@surr_mike1 offered a different take:
"Genuine ask, isn't that free PR? Though? Like, look, it's got people thinking about the brand. Maybe the lemons are being turned into lemonade after all?"
@EtherRuin brought a sharper critique:
"This is what you want to focus on. The country is burning now. You didn't say anything about it, but you expect the very same people you are not fighting for to go buy that tasteless gin of yours. You guys don't deserve our support. We always stream but can't return the favour by standing with us."
@TheeSoulMaster kept it brief:
"Truth hurts sometimes. But it passes also."
