Cassper Nyovest may have accidentally revealed that he tunes into Podcast and Chill, and Sol Phenduka was quick to weigh in once fans spotted the tell-tale sign.

On 10 October 2026, the rapper broke his silence on MacG's suggestion that his alcohol brand, Billiato, had failed to make a mark in the market. Cassper fired back, insisting the brand had performed far better than people realised. When fans pushed him to back that up with actual figures, he declined, and his reason raised more than a few eyebrows.

Cassper Nyovest's joke gave him away

Rather than producing receipts, Cassper joked that releasing Billiato's sales numbers would only result in him being accused of practising witchcraft at 3 am. The quip was a nod to claims made by businessman Benjamin "Benjy" Maponya during a conversation on Podcast and Chill, in which Maponya made that exact accusation against mining magnate Solomon "MySol" Madibela.

It was not a vague or generic reference - it was specific enough that anyone who had watched the episode would immediately clock it.

That specificity is precisely what caught people's attention. For a man widely believed to have no love for the Podcast and Chill platform, Cassper appeared to know the show's content rather well.

Sol Phenduka confirms what many already suspected

Sol Phenduka addressed the moment directly after a fan pointed out the reference online. His response was matter-of-fact.

"Yes. Majority of 'celebrities' watch the podcast; many secretly love it."

The comment reframed Cassper's slip not as an isolated incident but as part of a broader pattern, with Sol suggesting that many of the show's most vocal critics are also among its quiet audience.

The context makes the moment all the more pointed. Cassper had previously declared he would never appear on Podcast and Chill, and while he had not explicitly said he avoids watching it, his well-documented friction with both Sol and MacG led most people to assume he steered well clear of their content altogether. His Billiato post suggested otherwise.

Reactions in the comments were a mix of amusement and gentle ribbing, with many labelling the rapper a secret admirer of the very show he has kept his distance from.
