Mac G hints at drug use by Amapiano star Zuma during podcast rant
Controversial podcaster Mac G has stirred up major controversy yet again, this time for making a bold claim about Amapiano artist Sabelo Zuma during a recent episode of Podcast and Chill. A short clip from the episode has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a wave of reactions from shocked viewers. While discussing a song he believes deserved more recognition, Mac G brought up a collaboration that included Mellow & Sleazy, Mzu M, and one of the Amaroto members, but he appeared to forget the artist's name mid-conversation. As he tried to jog his co-hosts’ memories, Mac G made a startling remark. “There was a guy they featured... I forgot his name, but he’s allegedly involved with drugs,” he said. Sol Phenduka quickly pointed out that the artist in question was Zuma, prompting Mac G to ask: “Is it Zuma? Is he the one they say is involved in drugs?”
