Radio DJ and Podcast and Chill co-host Macgyver “MacG” Mukwevho is reportedly under fire with his employees as some of them claim he is not just jealous but also arrogant.

This comes after Zimoja reported that the Podcast and Chill founder had allegedly fired his sound guy Ayabulela Phakade, affectionately known as AyaProw after he launched his album a month ago.

AYA HURT BY MACG’S ACTIONS

When Aya hosted a listening session for his album “Value Of Time”, MacG reportedly did not show up. Sol Phenduka was the only person who showed his support to the DJ and businessman.

“That hurt Aya badly because he considered MacG a friend, a brother and they were growing in this together. He thought he would support him. Instead, he told him days before the album release to take a few days off and focus on the music…Aya didn’t know what that meant because he always makes time for anything related to the podcast,” the friend told Zimoja.

“His music was not coming in the way of his work. After being given leave indefinitely, Aya then decided to visit Cape Town for a bit. He came back a day before his listening session. Sol attended but MacG did not, he didn’t congratulate him. Instead, he side-lined him from the podcast,” the source explained.

“His sound team has also not been called. He fired him without saying basically. When Aya asked when his leave ends, he was told, he has more time for his music and not the podcast. But Mac G was the one who gave him time off. He is just jealous. He wants everyone to worship him and to only work on the Podcast,” the source added.
