Tebogo Thobejane Hits Out at MacG Over Podcast Comments: “I Won’t Tolerate Being Disrespected”

Tebogo Thobejane has publicly called out popular podcaster MacG after he made what she described as disrespectful comments about her on his Podcast and Chill platform.

MacG, known for his controversial takes, claimed that Tebogo once reached out to him for help when her YouTube channel was struggling to gain views. According to him, Tebogo’s new channel had significantly fewer viewers compared to the one she hosted on his network. This comment was met with laughter from the Podcast and Chill crew, but it didn’t sit well with Tebogo, who quickly responded.

Tebogo, who had previously hosted a popular show on MacG’s podcast network, left to pursue her own YouTube channel. However, her departure reportedly led to a decline in viewership, and she allegedly sought MacG’s assistance to boost her channel’s visibility.

MacG humorously recounted this situation on his podcast, claiming that Tebogo had asked him to redirect viewers from her old show to her new channel after she received only five views on one of her episodes.

The comments sparked outrage from Tebogo, who felt that MacG’s remarks were both demeaning and disrespectful. She swiftly responded by issuing a statement, in which she expressed her disappointment with how the situation was handled. Tebogo emphasized that she had taken a risk by leaving the established platform to strike out on her own, and she was hurt by how MacG had made light of her struggles.
