Popular Podcast and Chill host Mac G is once again at the center of controversy after making questionable remarks about South African media darling Minnie Dlamini. His latest comments have sparked outrage online, with many accusing him of crossing the line and disrespecting Minnie during a sensitive time in her life.
A Breakup Under the Spotlight
Minnie Dlamini’s relationship with Dr Brian Monaisa was once the envy of many. The couple appeared inseparable, often sharing loving moments online and celebrating milestones together, including a memorable Valentine’s Day where Minnie was gifted a luxury car. However, earlier this year, the couple’s fairytale romance came to an unexpected end, leaving fans shocked and speculating about the reasons behind their breakup.
Although rumors of infidelity quickly made the rounds, Dr Brian Monaisa publicly clarified that their split had nothing to do with cheating. Despite this, conversations about Minnie’s personal life have continued — with some taking a turn for the worse.
Mac G’s Controversial Remarks
During a recent episode of Podcast and Chill, Mac G and co-host Sol Phenduka discussed Minnie’s breakup. Mac G posed a blunt question that immediately drew criticism:
“Minnie is pretty, why can’t she keep a man?”
Sol speculated that perhaps Dr Monaisa dated Minnie to “fulfill a fantasy.” However, Mac G pushed the conversation further, stating that “there might be something wrong with her” and even suggesting that she might suffer from body odour problems — comments that many listeners found both disrespectful and unwarranted.
A video clip of the exchange quickly went viral after being reposted by @MDNnews on X (formerly Twitter), prompting widespread backlash from social media users and fans alike.
Public Outrage and Defense of Minnie Dlamini
The public’s reaction was swift and fierce. Many accused Mac G of being insensitive and misogynistic, especially considering Minnie’s efforts to move forward gracefully after her breakup.
Fans rallied behind Minnie Dlamini, emphasizing that no one deserves to have their character assassinated based on speculation and unfounded personal attacks. Some even called for Podcast and Chill to issue a public apology and urged Mac G to be more responsible with his platform, which reaches millions.
Why It Matters
Mac G’s comments highlight an ongoing issue in entertainment media: the treatment of women — especially public figures — during vulnerable moments. Instead of offering support or respectful commentary, too often, female celebrities are subjected to ridicule and harmful speculation.
Minnie Dlamini has not yet publicly responded to Mac G’s comments, choosing instead to maintain her focus on her flourishing career. As one of South Africa’s most beloved personalities, she continues to embody strength and resilience, refusing to be defined by public scrutiny.
Conclusion
While Podcast and Chill has built a reputation for controversial conversations, many believe there is a fine line between edgy entertainment and outright disrespect.
Mac G’s latest remarks about Minnie Dlamini serve as a reminder that words carry weight — and that even in the world of entertainment, basic respect should never be sacrificed for a few extra clicks.
