MacG is convinced that Makhadzi’s loan shark story was a PR stunt.

MacG recently put Makhadzi on blast, claiming that the singer may have lied about her money problems to gain public sympathy.

MacG calls out Makhadzi Despite her recent win at the BET Awards, it seems Makhadzi’s money troubles will always be the main topic of discussion. Having recently confessed to seeking help from loan sharks to fund her trip to the award ceremony, it appears MacG wasn’t easily convinced that the singer was struggling.

In the latest episode of Podcast and Chill, the host suggested that there was no way Makhadzi, who reportedly charges around R200K for a performance, could not afford a flight to Los Angeles. He alluded to the statement from the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture revealing that they “helped” the singer on numerous occasions and paid her booking fee in full: “Do you not think it was a PR stunt? She makes a lot of money; you’re telling me she can’t afford a flight? And she gets booked.” Twitter (X) user ThisIsColbert shared a snippet from the conversation:

This after the singer was booked and paid to perform, to which the organiser says they’ve been asking for their money back for over a year.
